right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  frames  as 
required.  The  following  diagrams  illustrate  the 
method:

GHNHRAL  IXTRODl  CTIOX. 


Ouit  ancestors  labored  and  .suffered  nuich  for  tlie  attainment 
of  tlie  rid)  blessings  which  we  enjoy,  Tliev  rest  from  their 
labors;  they  have  found, — 

"Sleep  iifter  toyle,  port  after  storiiiie  seas." 

It  is  int  I'iijht  in  their  descendants  to  allow  their  names  and 
deeds  to  perish  from  the  earth.  To  permit  it  would  be  alike 
unjust  ♦(»  the  living  and  the  dead  ;  to  those  who  have  gone  lie- 
fore  us,  and  those  who  shall  come  after  us.  To  prevent  such 
a  result  is  this  volume  published. 

It  is  a  familv  record.  Its  (lesiyn  is  to  oive  a  historu  of 
the  family  of  Morison  or  Morrison;  to  preserAc  its  traditions; 
gather  uj)  the  fading  memorials  of  its  past,  and  ti-aiismit  tliem 
to  those  who  shall  succeed  us. 

It  was  not  my  intention,  when  I  began  my  in.estigations,  to 
prepare  anything  for  the  press.  They  were  commenced  for  my 
own  satisfaction,  and  to  furnish  some  infonnation  to  Hon. 
Thomas  F.  3Iorrison,  of  Nova  Scotia,  in  answer  to  his  letter 
of  inquiry,  bearing  date  of  January,  1878.  Becoming  interested 
in  the  work,  and  meeting  with  a  success  far  beyond  my  ex]>ecta- 
tions  in  obtaining  information,  I  decided  to  continue  my  re- 
searches, and  i)rint  the  result,  in  order  to  preserve  the  informa- 
tion I  had  gathered  with  so  much  trouble  and  expense.  With 
this  object  in  view,  I  resolved  to  prepare  a  History  of  Charter 
/ames  Morison,  of  Londonderry,  N.  II.,  and  his  descendants,  my 
own  branch  of  the  family.  In  my  investig.ations,  I  gathered  so 
ii.;ich  valuable  matter  relating  to  the  other  branches,  that  I 
determined  to  irive    a  historv  of   all   the  descendants   of   dolm

t;KM;i;.vr,  ini'kodictiox. 


>rurisoii  who  was  born  in  l(jl.'8  (V),  Jiml  died  in  Londonderry, 
N,  FL,  in  17H0.  Tiie  lion.  Ciiarles  11.  3Iorrison,  of  oMiuicliester, 
N.  II.,  became  interested  in  the  work,  and  was  indnced  to  i)re- 
pan;  a  history  of  his  brancli  nf  tiio  Londonderry  family,  and  to 
incorpor.cte  it  with  mine.  There  were  still  two  brandies  of  the 
Londonderry  ^Morisons,  which  I  traced  out  with  mnch  labor; 
and  the  result  is  before  the  reader.  Had  I  known  the  diHiculties 
to  be  encountered  and  overcome,  tlie  expense  to  be  incurred,  the 
years  of  toil  to  be  spent,  I  should  have  shrunk  back,  appalled 
at  the  magnitude  of  the  undertakin<'.  Not  then  knowinfj  the 
tUKtto  of  the  Morison  family,  '■'■  Pretio  Pr\uhntia  Praestat^'' 
prudence  was  overcome  by  my  love  for  the  work. 

The  records  arc  not  complete.  There  are  vanished  lines, 
which  it  would  take  years  to  trace  out,  and  lost  threads  which 
fan  never  be  recovered. 

Hearing  of  a  pamphlet  published  by  Capt.  F.  "W".  L.  Thomas, 
of  the  Royal  Navy,  and  vice-president  of  tiie  Society  of  Anti- 
<|u:u"ies,  a  resident  of  JCdinburgh,  Scotland,  entitled  "Traditions  of 
the  Morrisons  (Clan  Mac  Ghillendiuire),  Hereditary  Judges  of 
Lewis,"  I  entered  into  correspondence  with  the  author,  and  after 
ninths  of  waiting  obtained  from  him  a  copy  of  the  work.    After 

I  'r  months  of  correspondence,  in  trying  to  obtain  additiomtl 
li'dit  in  relation  to  the  Morrison  family  now  in  Scotland,  it  was 
111/  good  fortune  to  open  ;'  correspondence  with  Norman  Mori- 
son,  Esq.,  postmaster  of  Stornoway,  Isle  of  Lewis,  Scotland,  a 
direct  descendant  of  Judge  Morrison,  the  last  Brieve  of  Lewis, 
who  was  slain  about  A.  D.  lOOU.  I  was  thus  enabled  to  take  up 
tlie  work  where  Captain  Thomas  laid  it  down,  and  bring  the 
history  of  the  descendants  of  Judge  Morrison  down  to  1880, 
and  include  it  in  my  work.  Th*'  other  branches  of  Morrisons 
inclutled  in  it  arc  those  of  whom  information  was  obtained 
during  the  progress  of  the  work,  and  which  I  thought  best  not 
to  omit. 

In  the  orthography  of  projier  names,  I  have  generally  adopted 
the  spelling  sent  me  in  the  records.  Where  there  are  errors  in 
dates  (and  there  are   many  in   all  genealogical  works),  some  of

the  blame  must  rest  on  those  sending  them ;  for  records  are 
often  written  illegibly,  and  sometimes  vary  when  given  by  dif- 
ferent members  of  the  same  family,  and  occasionally  when  given 
at  different  times  by  the  same  person.  The  dates  of  l)irths, 
marriages,  and  deaths  are  as  full  as  an  extensive  research  could 
make  them. 

Genealogical  works  are  never  perfect.  The  sources  from  which 
they  are  derived  —  county,  town,  and  family  records  —  are  all 
more  or  less  defective.  Many  families  have  kept  no  records, 
and  many  records  are  lost  by  accident,  so  that  it  is  utterly  im- 
possible always  to  ascertain  tiie  correct  dates.  I  have  given  as 
full  a  record  as  could  be  made  from  the  information  at  my  com- 
mand. As  mere  names  and  dates  are  not  interesting  reading, 
I  have  endeavored  to  bring  before  my  readers  the  living  indi- 
vidualfi,  and  have  introduced  a  large  amount  of  biographical 
and  historical  matter,  giving  the  i)rominent  facts  of  their  lives, 
tlie  positions  they  have  occupied  in  civil  life,  in  the  military 
service,  or  in  the  liberal  professions. 

The  uninitiated  have  no  conception  of  the  labor  and  time 
involved  in  a  work  of  this  nature,  ihis  work  is  the  result  of 
nearly  three  years  of  labor.  In  its  preparation  I  have  written 
more  than  twenty-five  hundred  letters,  and  travelled  more  tliaii 
two  thousand  miles.  Xo  probable  cliannel  of  infcrtnation  has 
remained  unex])lored.  I  have  had  correspondence  witli  all  jiarts 
of  America,  and  with  England,  Scotland,  and  Ireland.  AVith 
more  time  and  ex])ense,  the  work  might  have  been  improved; 
or  had  I  started  with  the  distinct  purpose  of  preparing  it,  it 
would  have  been  different.  I  give  it  as  it  is  to  tlie  family  oi 
Alorison  or  ^lorrison,  and  to  the  allied  families  found  within 
its  pages. 

Old  artists,  it  is  said,  never  completed  their  work.  Many 
statues  were  in  their  brain  when  tiiey  died,  which  were  never 
wrought  into  granite  or  marble.  So  in  regard  to  this  history : 
it  may  not  be  complete  ;  but  tue  shaft  is  reared,  and  other  hands 
may  polish  and  finish  it.  The  "finger-posts"  are  established,  to 
show  the  wav  our  fathers  trod.

TIlis  is  -A  farniltj  history;  and  it  litis  l)c'en  my  oiuloavov  to 
make  it  accej)tab]e  to  tlioso  for  whom  alone  it  was  prepared. 
Ill  tracing  the  jMorisons,  I  liave  in  most  eases  traeed  both  the 
male  and  female  lines,  ami  have  (different  from  most  genealo- 
gists) arranged  them  together. 


ajji:ax(;i;.mi:nt. 

In  the  arrangement,  the  Slafter  system  has  bi'en  followed  in 
the  main.  The  systeni  is  sim))le  and  easy  to  be  nnderstood. 
Consecntive  numbers  arc  used  on  the  left  margins  of  the  pages 
all  through  the  book,  no  two  persons  appearing  with  the  same 
number,  and  many  being  entered  twice,  —  first  as  a  child,  and 
enclosed  in  brackets  []  at  the  right  is  tlie  number  the  person 
bears  as  head  of  a  family.  Turning  to  the  number  the  child 
bears  as  the  head  of  a  family,  at  the  right  of  the  name,  enclosed 
in  brackets  [],  is  the  nundK-r  the  person  bore  as  a  child.  This 
refert  nee  will  be  ]»lain  as  soon  as  the  eye  falls  upon  the  ])age. 

Where  families  are  put  in  close  type,  and  two  or  three  gener- 
ations arc  given  at  once,  the  parent's  name  is  numbered  in  the 
usual  way,  his  children  are  designated  by  the  numerals  1,  2,  3, 
etc.      (See  Xo.   1270.) 

If  it  be  desired  to  trace  the  line  of  descent.  Hud  the  name  in 
the  Index,  and  "against  it  will  be  found  a  j)ersonal  number,  de- 
noting the  person  either  as  a  child  or  as  the  head  of  a  family. 
If  the  nunU)er  be  that  of  a  child,  above  it  will  be  the  i)arent's 
name,  with  a  figure  above  it  at  the  right,  which  denotes  the 
generation  to  which  he  belongs ;  the  first  succeeding  name  in 
parentheses  being  the  parent,  the  next  the  graiulparent,  and  so 
on  to  the  first  ancestor,  or  the  first  generation. 

The  j)edigree  of  every  head  of  a  family  Avill  be  seen  at  a 
glance. 

Every  woman's  married  name  is  enclosed  in  ])arentheses  (). 
(See  No.  839 :  Hannah^  (Barker)  [718],  Elizabetlr*  (Smith),  John 
Morison-,  .Tohn^)  Her  married  name  was  Barker,  her  maiden 
name  was  irannah  Smith,  of  the  fourth  generation,  daughter  of 
Elizabeth  (Morison)  Smith,  third  generation,  daughter  of   John 


(i i:x ki;a I-  i ntroi >U(jtion. 


13 


Morison,  second  goiioriition,  sou  uf  John  Morison,  first  goncrii- 
tion.  The  number  718  gives  her  as  a  child,  and  iiuniber  839  as 
the  liead  of  a  faniily. 

A  niarlv  of  interrogation  (?)  after  a  name  or  date  iin])lies  un- 
certainty or  doubt.  The  letters  unm.  (unmarried,  or  single)  are 
sometimes  employed ;  but  where  nnirriage  is  not  mentioned,  the 
jierson  was  usually  not  married,  or,  if  married,  the  fact  was  un- 
known to  me.  OtluM'  alilireviations  are  used;  such  as,  i.,  for 
hi) 1 11 ;  m.,  for  married ;  d.,  for  died  /  res,,  for  reside,  resided,  or 
residi'nce,  according  to  the  manner  in  which  it  is  used. 

Should  the  records  of  any  fanuly  be  found  imi»erfect,  the 
responsibility  will  not  rest  o\\  me,  as  I  have  made  all  proper 
efforts  to  have  them  comj)lete.  Where  little  is  given,  much 
must  not  be  required. 

The  arrangement  of  Charter  Samuel  Morison's  branch  is  ex- 
plained on  page  295  ;  and  a  separate  Index  is  ])repared  for  that 
branch,  and  for  Charter  David  Morison,  by  the  author.  Judge 
Charles  R.  Morrison,  of  Manchester,  N.  II.

under  the  dominion  of  Norway  till  it  was  ceded  to  Scotland  in 
126G;  and  1  sujjpose  the  (iraelic  language  to  have  been  general  in 
the  islands  after  that  tinu'." 

Under  date  of  April  0,  1879,  he  says:  — 

"The  history  of  the  Hebrides,  Western  Isle's,  or  Sndreyar, 
begins  in  50;},  witih  the  advent  of  St.  Columba. 

"In  705,  the  Danes  and  Noiwegians  began  their  devastations, 
and,  I  believe,  exterminated  or  drove  out  the  Celtic  inhabitants. 

"From  that  time  the  islands  ;i])pear  to  have  Ih'cii  lield  l)y  inde- 
pendent vikings,  or  ])irates,  till  Harold  Fairhair,  King  of  Norway, 
made  several  expeditions  against  them;  from  Avhich  time  the 
Orkneys  were  held  by  a  Norwegian  Earl,  but  the  Western  Isles 
continued  in  great  confusion. 

"From  about  980  to  10G4,  the  Western  Isles  were  held  I»y  the 
Earl  of  Orkney;  but  after  that  time  (1064),  they  formed  piirt  of 
the  Kingdom  of  iMan ;  imtil,  in  120G,  they  were  ceded  l»y  tre.-ity 
to  Scotland.  Thus  the  Western  Isles  were  under  Scandinavian 
rule  for  four  hundred  and  seventy-one  years.     They  wei'e  aftei-

I'^'roin  the  |K'n  of  Mai-  I'Miearii'linis  (Charles  l""er'u'iirson ),  I  take 
lis  accoiinl  of  the  Morrisims.  It  was  |irinted  early  in  the  year 
IST'.t.  in  "The  lliuhlaiider,"''  a  paper  |mlilislied  at  Imerness,  Seot- 
laml,  l)y  .lohii  .'Murdoch. 

"  .MoitiJisov.  —  I  .Mm  afraid  that  'Steorn-;id>liaiu'Ii '  overrates  my 
ahilities  if  he  e\)pects  nie  to  ^ive  the  orin-in  ;md  history  of  this 
ancient  <'lan,  —  the  elan  .Mae  ( ihille-^IIiuire,  whose  oritj;in,  and 
niosl  part  of  whose  history  as  a  elan,  may  l>e  said  to  e)Hl  about 
Kidtl,  ;i  date  at  which  many  of  our  most  noted  elans  are  (Uily  too 
proud  to  1)1  (fin  their  history.  The  name,  derived  from  (Jille- 
^[liuiri',  'uille  or  servant,  of  Alary,'  most  likely  from  tlu'ir  Iteinijf 
iit  some  early  period  coniieeteil  with  some  eliurcli  or  eliureh 
lands  dedicated  to  the  \'irniii  Mary.  From  time  immemorial  the 
Aforrisons  were  possessed  of  the  extreme  tiortheni  ])nint  of  the 
island  itf  Lewis;  and  their  chief,  Morrison  of  IFabost,  for  many 
generations  held  the  honorahle  position  of  hereditary  birilheam/i, 
or  jiidn'e,  of  the  wholi'  island  of  Lewis,  down  to  tlie  year  M'A^i. 
They  have  two  tartans,  —  a  beautiful  red  clan  tartan,  and  a  green 
limiting  tartan,  'i'heir  crest  is:  Two  arms,  dexter  and  sinister 
ill  t'esse,  eon))ed,  holding  :i  t  wodi.imled  sword,  in  pale.  Motto, 
'Marte  et  iiiari  favent il)iis,'  —  W;ir  and  the  sea  favoring.  Like 
most  clans  nowadays,  the  .Morrisons  have  had  many  a  fancy  origin 
;iscril)ed  to  them  by  that  class  of  writers  who  w^onld  lik(>  to  give 
every  clan  and  family  in  the  Highlands  a  foreign  origin,  and  who 
would  like  to  di'prive  the  lliglilaiider  of  even  the  privilege  of 
being  a  native  of  his  own  country,  following,  as  is  ton  common 
in  many  other  things,  the  e\am]>le  of  the  Pas«enacli,  who  take  a 
pride  in  a  Norman,  or,  in  fact,  any  foreign  descent.  However, 
such  are  the  simple  historical  facts  .about  the  Morris.ms." 

The  f(illowiiig  article  was  ]n-inted  .^^al•ell  2,  ISTS,  in  "The  ITigh-

OlMGIX    OF    TIIK    IW.MILY    OF    MOIJISON. 

'IMie  family  of  ^lorison  In  \ei'y  numerous  in  Scotland,  and  the

in  the  consanLrniiiity  of  the  dii'fereiit  liranches.  The  reader  will

OUTIKXJH.VrilY    OF   TIIK    NAMK. 

Thire  is  no  antiioritative  manner  of  s))ellinji'  Morison.  It  lias 
been  found  spelled  in  tnany  different  ways,  such  as  ]Miiryson, 
^foreson,  Moryson,  Morresoii,  .Mooris<in,  .Morrisson,  Morson, 
Morisown.  Morisoin',  ^lorison,  Morrison,  ^lurison,  ami  Mor- 
rowsoii. 

In  early  d.ays,  the  family  in  Scotlaml,  Kn>;l;iiid,  IrelamI,  ami 
America  almost  invariably  spelled  their  name  with  one  ;•,•  thus, 
Mo?'ison.  This  v,as  the  custom.ary  orthoy-j-aphy  till  about  the 
year  iSdd,  when  the  cli.anii'e  to  Mor/'ison  became  i^'eneral  in  Scot- 
land, Kiiuiand,  Ireland,  and  .\merica,  and  has  confinueil  to  the 
present  time.  The  family  in  Londonderry,  N.  II.,  followed  the

^'athaniel  Holmes  .Morison,  i.i,.  d.,  I'rovost  of  the  Pcaliody 
Institute  of  l5altimore.  .Md.,  writes  as  follows,  under  date  of  Kcl). 
'J4,  issd:  "I  examined  \\\\>  point,  the  origin  of  the  name,  sonie- 
Avhat.  years  ai^o,  and  <-ame  to  the  conclusion  that  the  nanu'  is 
simply  son  <if  Moor,  More,  J/hor,  Miti'r,  Moh\  Mor,  and  thiit  this 
variously  spelled  name  comes  from  the  (Jaelic  word  }n/ior,i)r  mor^ 
HiifnityiiiLT  'reiiowneil,  famous,  a  miuhty  one.'  The  mere  fact  that 
the  .Moors  and  Morrisons  have  a  common  crest,  three  Moors'  heads, 
is  strouiX  presumptive  evidence  in  its  favor,  and  shows  that  there 
Avas  a  eonneelion  helween  the  two  families." 

I'nder  date  of  March  11,  issil,  lie  writes,  "If  the  name  is 
derived  from  tlu'  (iaelic  »?/h>/',  or  mor,*  as  1  think  it  is,  it  must 
have  hei'ii  formed  from  that  wonl  <i/'ter  the  piTsons  lieariny  the

Norsemen  or  Sa.xons,  and  used  one  of  these  lan^uaj^'es.  The 
Gaelic  for  so}i  is  mac,  while  son  is  lioth  Norse  and  Saxon.  It 
is  clear  to  my  mind  that,  like  .lohnson,  Allison,  ami  many  other 
names,  this  n.anie  means  the  son  of  someliody,  —  whether  of  Mary, 
3Ioore,  or  IVIaurice  can  hardly  he  asserti'd  with  conlideiice;  Imt 
the  fact  that  tlu'  Moors,  and  n<it  tin-  Morrises,  have  the  same

ancestry  of  the  name.  The  name  as  originally  Avritten  in  Saxon, 
or  in  Saxon-KiiLilish,  Avonld  lie  Moores-son,  or  ]Mores-son;  or  if

name  of  Morisoii."  ((iuillim's  Heraldry,  ]i.  il.M.)  He  seems  to 
iinjdy  that  what  is  calle(l  the  I)'>ri<ei/  3Iorison"s  arms  iielonpMl  to 
^the  natni'  of  J/on'Kon.' "  ' 

Nishet  Heraldry,  \'ol.  I.  ]>.  lidii,  says:  "Tiiose  of  the  name  (if 
Aloir  and  ."Morisoii  carry  three  .Moores'  heads,  i-elative  to  their 
name." 

Pa)>wt)rth,  Armorials,  p.  !);];">,  says,  '"JNIoor  or  !Moir  of  Scotstowii 
and  ]\Iurison,  have  three  .Moores'  heads  avffOit.  These  lieails  are 
f>laced  one  on  to|)  of  the  other  two,  lookinij;  upward."  By  impli- 
catittn  it  would  show  a  connection  lietweiMi  the  families  of  3Iour 
and  Murison. 

The  nu)tto,  "  i'retio  prudentia  praestat,"  Kairliain  translates: 
"Prudence  I'xcels  reward."  See  r'airliaiiTs  (I'ests.  Klwiu.  in  his 
Handbook  of  ^lottoes,  translates  it,  "I'l'iideiice  is  lietter  than 
profit."  In  Washbourne's  Family  Crests,  ihi'  translali<in  is, 
"Prudence  is  better  than  riches."  '•-J'rtahntia  comes  from  pro 
and  video,  to  see  before,  to  lo(»k  ahi-ad.  'I'his  (juality  of  mind  is 
what  we  call  Ion<j;-headed,  and  is  thoroutihly  Scotch.  By  coining 
an  expri'ssive  word  I  would  translate  it,  J.onL!,"-lK'ade<lni'ss  is  .above 
price."  This  translation  by  Dr.  X.  H.  .Morison  will,  I  think,  be 
acceptable  to  most  Morrisons. 

It  is  claimed  that  these  arms  ami  crest  were  bestowed  upon  a 
Morison  in  the  war  of  the  Crnsadi-s  for  some  deed  of  daring,  by 
the  Englisii  king,  Kichard  I  (C\eur  de  JJoii).  In  this  connection, 
and  relative  to  l)otb  crest  and  nanu',  I  will  gi\e  ;ni  extract  of  a 
letter  from  Dr.  X.  II.  3Iorison.  of  Baltimore,  under  date  of  ^Nlarcli 
11,  ISSO.  "The  form  of  the  crest  —  three  .Moors'  heads  —  is 
pretty  strong  jiresumptive  evideiu-e  that  it  cami-  from  some 
iiu'ident  or  incidents  connected  with  the  Crusades.  Where  else 
could  the  (iaels  of  Scotland  have  come  in  contact  with  the 
IMoors?  Men  did  not  travel  in  those  days,  and  ordinary  wars 
were  j)etty  affairs,  iiisually  ln^tween  neighboring  chiefs.  Fynes 
INIoryson  was  the  greati'st  travelK'r  of  tlie  sixteenth  century, — 
liis 'Itinerary  Through  Ten  Kingdoms"  being  the  most  reliable 
antl  thorougli  account  of  the  countries  Ik-  visiti'd  during  ten  years 
of  laborious  travel.  I  shoidd  hardly  look  for  the  name,  then, 
before  the  Crusades;  both  on  account  of  its  composition  having 
the  Saxon  son  in  it,  and  on  account  of  this  crest,  jirobably 
derived   from  some  anci'stor  of  the  Moore  family." 

At  different  tinu's,  other  arms  have  been  granted,  different 
from   thosi-  <:'iven,  and    which   it   is  useless  to   n.ention.

coiitiiiiKMl  soiiu'  Mcc'ouiit  of  tlic  Ia'wI.s  ('l:ins  t'oiimU'd  on  oral  tra-

In  the  letti'r  to  the  "  Athena'um  "  it  was  stated,  on  the  autlioi-- 
ity  <»f  those  ai  uinl  me,  that  time  out  of  mind  Lewis  had  ))een 
iidialiited  l)y  three  confeijerated  clans,  tlie  Macleods,  the  IVIor- 
risi)us,t  ami  the  .Macauiays.  This  statement  is  confirmed  in  a 
"•  Descrijit ion  of  the  Lewis,  by  John  Morisone,t  iiuhveller  tliere," 
^vllicIl  is  infern'd  to  liave  Iteeu  written  between  KITS  and  U5SS. 
Tlie  "Imhveller"  states:  "Tiie  first  and  most  ancient  inhabitants 
of  this  countrie  were  three  men  of  three  several  races,  viz.  IVIores, 
tiie  sol.,'  of  Kennanus,  whom  the  Irish>?  historians  call  ]M:ikurich, 
whom  they  make  to  be  son  to  one  of  tlu'  kiny's  of  X<jrovay,  some 
of  whose  |M)steritie  remains  in  the  land  to  this  day.     Ail  the  ]Mor- 

*  In  tliis  cliiiptcr  I  liavu  copied  nearly  tlio  wliolo  of  Cai)tiiin  Thomas's 
])aini)liU't,  omittinij  siicli  i)orti()ns  as  were  not  ossontiiil  to  the  narrative.

or  was,  csijcclally  ai)i)lical)lL'  to  a  family  which  had  licoii  settled  fur  a  loiijr

IxH'ome  remarkable  for  the  haiidsomoness  of  its  cadets "  (Collected 
Works,  vol.  vii,  p.  07).  It  is  still  applicable  to  the  Morrisons  of  the 
Oatei'  Helirides. 

X  From  internal  evidence  it  can  be  proved  that  the  '•Description"  was 
written  after  I()78,  and  jirobably  before  lOSS.  He  speaks  of  tlie  destruc- 
tion of  Slornoway  Castle,  which  took  i)laee  in  Id.jt,  as  Iniviiiy  "lately" 
occiiired.  The  writer  was  intimately  aciniaiiiteil  with  Lewis ;  wlieii  yoniiy-, 
th  -re  were  only  three  i)eoi)le  in  Lewis  who  knew  the  alphabet,  but  when 
he  .vrote,  the  head  of  the  family  at  least  was  usually  able  to  read  and 
write.  'IMie  author  was  proliably  the  Hev.  John  Morrison,  sometime  min- 
ister of  Trray,  sou  of  Jt)hii  Morrison  of  IJrai^ar,  and  father  of  the  Kev. 
John  Morrison,  minister  of  l\'tty.

Of  the  Morrisons,  it  is  stranu;e  that  tlu'  '•  Indwi'Uer,"  himself  a 
^[orrison,  should  have  iii'liori'd  what  he  would  have  calle<l  the 
"•Irishes  name  of  his  clan,  wii  h  is  from  (rille-JIhuire,  i.  e.

times shortened  to  (iillmore,  (iilmoiir;  or  translated  Morrison, 
A[ary.son;  or  retlnced  to  Milmore,  .Mih's,  3fyK's.  The  ^[orrisoiis 
are  a  immeroiis  clan  in  Lewis,  where,  in  JStU,  they  inimhercd 
141)2,  or  OIK'  tifteenth  of  the  whole  population;  in  Harris  there 
were  5;:{(l,  e(Hial  to  one  seventh  of  the  inhabitants,  'i'hese  num- 
bers indicate  a  domiii.atioii  in  the  island  of  many  centuries. 

Tliere  is  no  real  tradition  of  their  oriL!.in;il  settlement  in  Lewis, 
except  that  the  founder  was  the  iiievital)le  son  of  tlu'  Kiiiii'  of

The  chief  of  the  Clan  Morrison,  wlmst'  dwelling  was  at  llabost, 
Ness,  was  hereditary  judge  or  brieve  ( J>r(!ithe<n)ih)  of  Lewis, 
and  coiitiiiue<l  to  hold  tiie  otlice  till  the  beginning  of  the  seven- 
teenth century.  The  only  record  of  his  judgeshi)i  is  that  given 
by  Sir  R.  Gordon,  who,  under  the  rubric  of  'AN'hat  the  otlice 
of  a  Hreive  is  among  the  ilanders,"'  **  states  that  "The  Ib'eive  is 
a  kind  of  judge  amongst  the  isl.amlei's,  who  liath  an  alisolute

It  is  itrohahle  that  tlw  IJrieve  in  Lewis  represented  t]\(}  loff-tt>aor 
of  Norse  domination,  and  that  in  the  p^o^^ess  of  time  the  office 
changed  from  that  of  law-man  or  s])eaker-of-the-law  at  thc^jmt^, 
or  poj)idar  asseniltly,  to  that  of  J)i'>mfinih\  or  administrator  of

justice  hetwcen  man  and  man  as  evenly  as  tlu'  liack-honc  of  the 
hcrrinix  lies  Itetween  the  two  sides  of  tin-  tish.  Wherever  the 
<leemsti'i"  was  pri'sent,  the  au'i^rieved  ]iarty  could  luu'  his  opponent 
before  him,  TIic  plaintiff  placed  his  foot  upon  that  of  the 
defendant,  and  held  it  there  till  jnd<>inent  was  pronounced. 
JJolh  in  Lewis  and  in  3lan  the  decision  seems  to  have  been 
accepted    without   resi-rve. 

On  the  liDth  May,  loiiV,  K'inu'  James  addressed  a  letter  to 
'■  Oiire  Breff  of  Iniierness,'"  where  "breft""  is  synonymous  with 
"sherilf ";  from  wlicnce  it  may  be  inferred  that  the  vice-comes  of 
Skye,  named  in  the  (."lironicle  of  .Man,  \v:is  the  brieve  of  that  island. 
How  tile  office  of  law-man  was  abused  inider  Scottish  tyranny  in 
Shetland  may  be  seen  in  Ualfour's  "Oppressions" ;  b\it  in  Lt'wis, 
owinu'  to  its  I'l'mote  situation,  the  brieve  appears  to  ]\:\\v  exercised 
his  ancient  jurisdiction  without  interference.  \\  is  very  doidttful 
if  ever  a  brieve  of  Lewis  could  have  spoken  a  word  of  Knirb'^h, 
:ind  ;is  the  Scots  Acts  of  Parliament  have  not  been  tr.anslated 
into  (Jaelic,  the  decisions  of  the  judii'e  can  never  have  had  any 
relation  to  them.  Hcforc  the  utter  confusion  into  which  the 
country  fell  towards  the  close  of  tlie  sixteenth  century,  the 
brieve  of  Lewis,  like  tlie  bard  of  ClanranaM,  may  have  I'cceived 
some  ediK-ation  in  (iaelic;  but  in  any  case  we  have  ample  proof 
that  he  exercised  his  office  most  inisp:irin>>'ly,  for  there  :iri'  few 
islands  or  districts  in  which  the  Ciioc  iin  C/i7'oic/ie,  or  (J.-illows 
IlilKt  is  not  a  conspicuous  feature.  With  the  judn'c,  says  Dr. 
Mac  Ivor,  jierished  the  diffi'rent  records  of  the  Lewis,  .and  of  the

The  "  ludweller  "  is  only  partially  correct  in  statinii  tlu't  l\en- 
nanus  Makurieh,  t.  e.  Cain  Mac\  iirich  {('atha)i  Mac  Mhurich), 
was  the  first  Morrison  in  Lewis;  for  the  current  tradition  throunh- 
out  the  island  is  that  the  heiress  of  the  Morrisons-  havinj^  deter- 
mined she  would  only  marry  witii  a  .Morrison,  Cain,  who  was  a 
MiU'douald  from  Ardnamurchan,  |>assed  hiinsi'lf  off  for  a  Mor- 
rison, hecami'  husband  of  the  lady,  and  t'onse(juentIy  bi'ie\i'  also. 
Tile  Harris  Mori'isons  claim  to  be  of  tiie  oriyinal  stock.  'I'lie 
North  inst  historian  of  the  Sleat  Macdonalds  (llutih  .Macdonald) 
states  that  "  IJen'inald  married  a  brother's  son  of  his  n'randfather's 
to  an  heiress  of  the  name  of  tiie  .Morrisons  in  the  Li'wis":  and 
tiiat  Keu'inald  was  Uilli'd  by  the  Karl  of   lioss  in  l:)4(i.t 

It  is  further  stated  that  Angus  Oiu',  of  Islay,  married  a  dauLihter 
of  (>uy  O'Kaine  in  Ireland  ;$  and  this  is  conlirmeil  by  Mac  Firbis, 
who  writes  that  the  nu)ther  of  John  .Mac  Anti'us  of  Isl;iy  w:is 
.^///c,  dau<:,hter  of    Cumh<ii(jht    (/    < 'ntluiin.  i^      In    this   way   the 

name  of  C'ain  has  been   introduced  —  if  it  was  not  there  befoi'i 

into  the  (Man  Macdonald,  and  thi-ouyh  them  it  has  been  continued 
as  a  family  name  amonii;  the  Morrisons  to  the  ]>i'cscnt  day. 

The  conclusion  to  be  drawn  is  that  Kennauus  Maknrich,  *.  e. 
Cain  Macvurich,  who  was  adopted  into,  ami  from  whom  descended 
the  leadiu<^  family  of  the  3Iorrisous  of  Xess,  was  the  son  of  ^Miirdo, 
son,  or  ratlier  grandson,  of  John  the  Bold,  founder  of  the  family 
of  Ardnanmrchan;  and  that  the  marriage  took  nlace  not  long 
before  l;{4(i. 

I  am  told  that  the  badge  of  tlie  Morrisons  is  "drift-wood,"  of 
which  a  great  (juantity  is  driven  upon  the  west  coast  of  Lewis. 
The  Lewis  word  for  drift-wood  is  syukl;  hence,  in  flerision,  a 
.Morrison  will  be  told  that  he  has  a  "skate"  {fif/ait,  (iae.)  for  a 
baby.  II 

^  Besides  the  district  of  Ness,  the  ^Iorri.;ons  were  dominant  in 
The  distrii't  of  ])iurness,  in  Lord  Ki'ay''s  country.  The  tradition 
of  their  settlement  tliere  is  that  Ay  Mac  Ilormaid  {Aodh  Mac 
T/ionnoid)^  a  3[orrisoii  from  Lewis,  who  was  a  haiulsonu'  and 
good-looking  fellow,  went  for  a  cargo  of  meal  to  Thurso,  and  there 
married  the  daughter  ^or  the  sister)  of  the  Bishop  of  Caithness,

The  3Iackenzie  faction,  havincj  f.-iiled  to  y-ain  Lewis,  left  the 
Morrisons  exjiosed  to  the  veni>eance  of  the  iNL'icleods  for  their

imaii'ine  that  the  ties  of  bh»od  should  be  sn]ii'rior  to  fealty  to  a 
chief.  About  this  time  the  IMorrisons  fortified  tiiemselves  in  Dun 
Eystein,  at  Xess. 

Dun  Kystein  is  a  natural  stronghold  at  tlu'  north  end,  or  Ness, 
of  Lewis,  in  the  townland  of  Cnoc  Aire/,  to  which  the  jMorrisons 
were  wont  to  retire  when  liard  ])res.HHl  or  in  times  of  war.  It  is 
a  tl.at,  cliffy  islaml,  of  a  somewhat  oval  sha])e,  al)out  75  yards  long 
and  ;")()  yards  broa<l,  and  is  se])arated  from  the  mainland  by  a  nar- 
row, ])eri)endicular  ravine,  through  which  the  sea  t1t)ws  at  high 
water.  The  ravine  is  between  30  and  40  feet  broad,  and  the  same 
in  height.  The  remains  of  a  strong  wall  follow  tiie  edge  of  the 
cliff  on  the  landward  side  of  the  island,  and  through  the  wall 
there  are  said  to  have  been  scjuints  or  loo))holes  for  observation 
and  defence. 

Towards  the  northeast  corner  of  the  island  is  a  dun  oi  castle, 
sonietimes  called  7\'f//i  nam  Arm,  or  (he  House  of  Arms,  now  but 
4j  feet  liigh.  The  outside  of  the  drtu  is  an  oblong  s(]uare,  '2')  by 
18  feet;  and  this  basement  is  nearly  solid,  for  the  ci'utral  area,

Macleotl  of  Assynv,  and  timling  he  made  but  little  progress,  sent 
for  John  Mori'ison,  who,  having  gone  over  thi'  ground,  recom- 
mended that  four  liundri'd  raw  cow-hidi's  should  he  made  into 
bags  and  stuffed  with  moss.  The  bags  were  placed  in  a  line  and 
ri'.ised  to  the  heiglit  of  ;i  m;ni.  ami  from  the  shelter  of  this  ram-

married.*  Accord inu;-  to  Lewis  tradition,  he  was  chosen  nunister 
of  Petty  in  a '•ompetition  with  fonr  other  candidates. f  lie  was 
a  iun-hly-ii-ifted  and  orthodox  |)reacher,  and  was  lielieved  to  lie 
gifted  witii  the  spirit  of  ))ro|ihecy  in  a  wonderfnl  manner. 

The  y  tuiii^est  son  of  John  Morrison  of  Jii'ati'ar  was  Murdo,  and 
he  was  lired  to  lie  a  smith. |  He  was  ;i  man  of  nncommon  strenutii, 
and  possessed  . a  fnll  siiaro  of  the  n'cnius  of  the  family;  he  coidd 
make  swords  and  <;-nns,  thonuh  in  a  measnre  self-tannht.  lie  pro- 
posed at  one  time  to  his  father  to  nnike  a  j^nn  for  killinji"  deer. 
His  father,  donhtint;  his  ahility,  jiersnaded  him  not  to  atteni]it  it. 
Jlowi'vei-,  hi'  set  ahont  it,  and  on  a  ilay  he  was  tixinn'  the  yiin  into 
the  stock  when  his  father  entered  tin'  smithy.  His  father  said, 
"  Y'ou  have  made  a  ii'un  coiitr;iry  to  my  advice,  and  I  daresay  it 
will  nevi'r  kill  a  lieast."  jNInrdo  replied.  "  Do  n<it  judye  |)renia- 
tnrely,  for  I  am  jnst  uninii-  to  put  a  siiot  into  it."  There  happened 
to  he  a  lot  of  ^Ii'.  3Iorrison"s  cows  ^i-a/.inii;  .'it  somi'  distance  from 
the  snuthy,  and  .Mnrdo  said.  "  What  siionld  I  have  to  pay  if  I 
shoot  that  speckled  o\  from  here":''"  "Well,"  said  his  father,  "if 
yon  kill  six  of  my  cattle  at  that  dist;iiice,  yon  will  not  have  to 
pay  a  penny  for  the  loss."  Murdo  lired  at  tlu'  stot,  \\hi<'h  fell, 
and  3Iurdo  told  his  tather  to  send  a  servant  to  bleed  the  heast. 
.lohn  Moi-rison  advised  his  son,  if  he  wanted  to  keep  so  /ood  a 
gun  for  himself,  that  he  should  put  no  ornament  on  it,  nor  iix  it 
in  the  stock,   lint    sim|ily  tie  it  with   coid,  so  that   the   \igly 

mounting  should  scare  any  gentK  .nan  from  desiring  to  possess  it. 
From  this  circumstance  it  was  called  (iini  iiii  Srai/if/,  i.  c  tiie

at  T)ra<j;;ir.  On  (nu-  occasion  Scafortli  liail  ^Mackenzie  of  Assynt 
'ivitli  iiiiii  ami  tlic  captain  of  a  iiiaii-of-war.  Scafortli  ilcsircil  a 
jx't'lv  nicasiirc  to  lie  brouulit,  for  lie  liad  hccii  tolil  tiiat  if  a  swonl 
was  properly  teni|iere(l,  it  iiiiu'lit  l>e  licnt  into  tlic  circle  of  the 
measure,  Tlie  <it'ntIeiiH'ii  took  tlieir  swords,  and  all  stood  the 
trial  hut  Seaforth's,  which  hroke.  Scafortli  was  somewhat  disap- 
))((inti'd  with  the  ri'sult. 

In  due  time  the  quests  went  to  their  Ix'ds,  when  John  Morrison 
told  his  soil  that  he  must  not  <;o  to  his  lied,  hut  to  his  smithy,  and 
try  to  mend  Seaforth's  sword.  So  father  and  son  set  lO  work, 
and  when  Miirdo  had  nu'iidt'd  and  iiolishoil  the  sword,  lu'  liandeil 
it  over  to  his  father,  and  desired  him  to  tell  where  it  had  heeii 
hroken.  His  father  could  not  see  where  it  had  lu'cn  joiin'il. 
]\[iird()  then  wanted  to  Lfo  to  l»i'<l,  hut  his  father  said,  ''Xot  yet; 
K't  us  try  if  the  swonl  will  y-.o  into  the  peck  measure  without 
breakiny'."  It  did  so.  The  half-peck  was  tlii'ii  hrouiiht,  and  it 
stood  even  that  trial. 

Aftei'  breakfast  next  day,  when  Scafortli  and  his  suite  wt-re  pre- 
parii:,i;  to  leave,  Scafortli  put  on  the  scabbard  with,  as  he  tliouu'ht, 
till'  broki'ii  swoi'd,  miittcriny'  some  words  about  brcakinu'  it.  .lohii 
JNIoi-rison  then  said  that  even  here,  in  l>ra<j;ar,  tlu'  sword  could  l)e 
repairecl  .•lud  madi'  better  than  ever.  "Well,"'  said  Si-afortli,  "if 
you  could  iict  my  sword  mended  and  tempered  so  :is  to  stand  the 
projier  trial,  I  would  ni\-e  you  t his  ycai'^s  rent  of  Hray'ar  down.'" 
John  ^Morrison  i'eplie(l,  "Let  us  see  the  pieces  and  be  thiukini;' 
about  it."  Scafortli  drew  forth  his  sword,  and,  lookinj;'  at  it  with 
astonishment,  he  remarked,  that  tliouu-h  he  had  pasr^i'd  the  niijfht 
in  bed,  that  they,  the  Morrisons,  had   not  taken  their  wontcil  rest. 

The  (inn  )ui  iSrauif/,  altlioui:h  an  u<ily  piece  of  fiu'iiitiire,  was 
a  very  protitabK'  one;  but  after  Murdo  JNIorrisoiTs  di'atli,  his  son, 
Donald  3Iorrison,  who  was  tacksman  of  Ilabost,  .at  Ness,  broke  it 
in  a  tit  of  anu'cr,  and  repented  of  his  rash  deed  when  tlu're  was

]{()(iericlv  Maclcod,  iael<sinaii  of  Ilanmr,  was  a  true  iiatiiot  and  a  loyal

seciite  him  with  it,  he  disappi'areil  and  was  never  seen  a^ain. 

I)Ut  more  unruly  than  the  evil  spirits  were  the  spirits  of  some 
of  his  parishioners;  for  one  of  them,  Donald  Macaulay,  tacksman 
of  Ureiiish,  havimj,-  taken  offence  .at  the  minister,  locked  him  out 
of  his  own  churcii;  hut  the  misdenieaiioi'  was  com|promise(l  hy  a

Till'  Alor' isoii  clan,  besides  forminii' a  larii'e  |»roportion  of  the 
populati./ii  of  Lewis,  are  numerous  in  Harris,  North  and  South 
ITist,  and  Eddcr.ichyllis.  The  numliers  of  ;i  clan-name  is  :\  ijood 
indication  of  the  lenn'th  of  time  that  the  cl;iii  has  heen  settlecl 
uf)on  the  land.  Often,  hy  the  irony  of  fate,  the  pot>rest  beggar  is 
tlie  represt'utative  of  the  most  ancient  loi'd  of  the  soil. 

The  Harris  Morrisons  claim  to  be  of  the  original  stock,  and  thu 
following  tradition  concerning  tlu-m  is  interesting. 

Sometime  in  the  tifteenth  century.  Maeleod  of  Harris,  who  was 
a  young  man,  was  in  Pabbay.  He  he;;"d  that  Peter  Morrison,  a 
tenant  in  Pabbay,  was  an  expi-rt  wrestler,  so  he  collected  the 
Voun<r  men  of  the  island  an<l  desired  them  to  show  their  skill, 
riiey  then  began  to  wrestle,  ;md  Peter  Morrison  proved  himself 
to  be  the  best  man.  The  laird  then  reijuested  Peter  to  try  a  fall 
with  himself;  but  Peter  declined,  for  he  said  his  temper  was  such 
that  he  could  not  yield  to  any  man  unless  he  was  overpowered. 
Macleo(l  comnu'uded  him  for  his  courage,  ;mil  badi'  him  act  as  he 
had  said.  They  then  grap|>led,  and  Peter  soon  lai<l  Maeleod  upon 
his  back.  M.acleod  took  no  offence,  but  one  who  was  standing  by, 
thinking  to  gain  the  laird's  good-will,  drew  his  swonl  and  killed 
Peter.     Uut  when  Maci/.'od  saw  Peter  fall,  he  ordered  his  men  t(t 

vaiit  was  slecpiiiii  a  little  distaiicc  oft'.  Husistanco  was  useless,  so  he  ,i;ave 
up  the  money.  The  roljbers  rcturaed  a  crown  to  Haniar  to  i)ay  Ills  loili;- 
iiijis  I'or  a  day  and  a  niuht;  l)nt  he  declined  it,  and  said  lie  would  1)0 
ol)liged  to  tlicni  if  'licy  would  .nive  a  j^ood  slap  to  wake  nj)  his  lazy  servant. 
The  r()l)bcrs  treatt  tl  the  kiltoil  lIi,nli!.-oul"r  vei'y  rudely,  lail  lie  spnuiy  uj)

Before  the  Lewis  men  left  on  the  iiioiniiio-,  a  fair-haired,  hand- 
some yoiiiin'  man  came  to  the  lioat,  and  seemed  much  distressed 
when  he  was  told  of  what  had  happened.  When  they  wcrealioiit

deceased  master.  lie  emharkecl  with  them,  ami  took  the  helm  all 
the  way  till   they  arrived  at   Ness.

Hrieve's  wife  welcomed  her  former  lover.  She  ;iskcd  him  al)out

Allan,  the  eldest  of  the  I5i-ieve's  children,  h.avinu'  arrived  to 
sixti'cu  years  of  ;i!j,'e,  claimed  his  father's  swoi-d  and  the  riuht  to

Ali.an  tied  to  his  mother's  friends  in  Irclaml.  hi  the  course  of  a

of  his  father's  property.  It  w;is  C  hrislm.as  Kve  when  they  landed

music,  hy  w  hicli  they  knew  that  the  inmates  were  enjoyiiiL!;  a  feast

In  this  story  we  have  the  distinctly  Scandinavian  notion  that 
it  was  wrong  to  slay  after  dark.  Among  the  Xorthnien,  and  no 
•hnibt  among  all  other  peoples  in  the  same  barbarous  stage,  the 
mere  killing  of  a  man  was  of  little  importanee,  —  in  Burnt  Njal, 
the  atonement  for  a  foul  assassination  was  oidy  twelve  ounces  of 
silver, — but  it  was  muriler  if  the  killing  was  done  at  night;  iiatt- 
vi<ji  ent  moro-oi(/,  "Is  it  not  called  mur<ler  to  kill  people  at 
niglitV"  So,  too,  Sweyn,  K;.,'l  Hakon's  son,  objects  to  ca])tives

\\  ith  regard  to  the  I.e'xjh  (I.a'knir,  leel.),  Leech  or  Surgeon,  it 
might  be  supposed  that  the  liard  had  imjiorteil  a  foreign  idea  into

that  .'i  chief  would  be  attended  by  his  hereditary  doctoi-  in  tinu'

of  tlie  most  pictures(|ue  objects  in  Lewis. 

Dun  Othail  is  a  natural  fortress,  iicin^'an  irreuular  peaked  ro'-k, 
t.pon  till'  sea  co.ast,  ni-arly  two  hundri'd  feet  hiu"li,  and  disjuined  from 
the  main  by  a  perpeiulicular  ra\ine,  which,  however,  does  not 
reach  to  the  wati'r.  The  sides  uf  the  ravine  a)>pear  to  have  been 
the  walls  of  a  trap-dyke,  wliich  has  bi'i'ii  denuded.  The  dun  is 
only  accessil»le  from  the  land  nn  the  soutiieast  side,  and  there  it 
is  defended  by  a  wall.  I  was  unal)le,  through  fatiu  le,  to  procec<l 
beyond  this,  but  the  Kev.  M.  3Iacphail  informs  me  tliat,  althou^ii 
there  is  no  defensive  masonry  upon  the  rock,  it  is  so  ditlicult  of

Maelcod  hcint;  dead,  the  sons  of  tlic  .riiduc  ruli'd  tlii'  roiinlry 
most  tyrannically. 

Allan  iAIoirisoii,  the  Jiiduv's  eldest  son,  was  intimate  witli  a 
demon.  This  eomint;  to  the  ears  of  Maeleod  of  Lewis,  Allan  was 
sent  for  by  him,  and  was  asked  if  it  was  true;  All.an  confessed  it 
was.  Maeleod  then  said,  "The  next  time  you  meet  the  demon, 
ask  whether  I  shall  die  a  natural  death  or  not."  Allan  returni'd 
in  a  few  <lays,  and  said  that  the  diMnon  foretold  that  the  present 
Laird  of  the  Lewis  would  l)e  killed  hy  :i  .ALu-leod  tiien  living. 
lint  the  wieked  Allan  .Morrison  feigned  this  story,  for  the  demon 
had  said  that  eitlu-r  Allan  or  liis  father  would  he  killed  by  tiie 
hands  of  a  .John  Maeleod. 

fn  eonse(|uence  of  this  information,  ^Macleod  of  Lewis  left  the 
country  for  his  other  estates,  tor  he  did  not  consider  himself  s;ife 
while  a  single  John  Macleod  was  left  ;iiive  in  Lewis;  and  Judge 
Morrison  obtained  his  sanction  to  '-ring  all  the  Macleods  in  the 
I'ountry  bi'fore  his  court  as  sus|ie'  icd  persons. 

Judge  Morrison  now  l)egan  the  iri.al  of  the  suspected  ^lacleods. 
lie  killed  sixtt'cn  of  the  ]Macleods  of  the  nanu' of  John,  for  it  was 
by  a  John  Macleod  that  Judge  Morriscm  was  to  lose  his  life. 
IJut  after  he  had  disposed  )f  all  the  John  JMacleods  in  this  manner, 
the  demon  or  spirit  tohl  liim  th.at  it  was  by  John  JMaclood  of 
Harris,  that  he  or  his  son  w.as  to  be  killed. 

The  Judge  had  then  recourse  to  conspiracy,  and  engageii  six 
teen  stout  and  able  men  to  swear  to  support  him  in  his  bloody 
plot.  He  sent  oiU'  of  his  uu'n  with  a  letter  to  the  Laird  <»f 
Harris,  saying,  that  as  the  Judge  had  now  the  sole  management 
of  J^'wis,  he  sent  him  his  respects,  and  recpiested  3Lu'le(id  to  nii'i-t 
him  on  a  certain  (Lay  to  sport  and  hunt  dei'r  in  the  hills  of  Lewis. 
John  ^Facit'od  of  Harris  had  been  by  this  time  forewarned  of 
Judge  ^Morrison's  |ilot,  so  hi'  answered,  that  I  aving  l)een  Lately 
sporting  in  the  Lewis  hills,  he  would  rather  tiiat  the  Judge  should 
come  to  sport  with  him  in  Harris. 

The  Ju<lgi'  and  his  si\t 'en  warriors  arrived  at  Kowdle.  and 
were  hospitalily  entertainer  by  ^Macleod  for  the  greater  part  of 
tlu'  night.  liut  while  ile  Judge  was  enjoying  himself,  (piite 
happy  in  the  thought  tL'U  he  would  take  ^I.acleod  s  life  upon  the 
hills  on  the  lu'xt  day,  Macleod  gathered  his  chief  men  about  the 
house;  suddtuly  ;i  strong  body  of  swoi'dsmen  entered  the  h.ali, 
and  bound  Judge  Morrison  and  his  sixteen  w.arriors.  The  Laird 
of  Harris  now  prodiu'ed  the  letter  which  ;i  friend  in  Lewis  had 
written,  telling  aliout  the  conspiracy.  3I:icleod  offereil  pardon  to 
the  sixteen  men,  who  had  been  forced  to  join  the  plot,  proviiled 
they  would  return  peaceal)Iy  to  Lewis,  which  they  joyfidly 
accepted.  The  Judge  was  put  to  death  :it  Kowdle;  and  thus 
the  prediction  was  fulliilcd  in  spite  of  the  shifts  "nade  to  avert  it 
by  the  bloody  massacre  o*"  the  Macli'(ids  in  Lewis.*

HEUKIHTAIJY    .IirXiKS    OF    LEWIS.

Tliis  myth  lias  iK't-ii  I'laboratcd,  from  the  facts  that  John  Mac- 
It'ud  of  Saiidii  killi'd  Ian  Breitlivamh,  i.  e.  John  tho  Judge, 
defeated  ^Nlah-ohn  JNIor,  liis  son,  and  carried  him  to  Stornoway, 
Avhere  lie  was  beheaded. 

Tine  wici:i:i>  incicndiauy. 

Macleod  of  Lewis,  liaving  found  out  tlsat  he  had  been  im))Osed 
upon  by  Alhin  Morrison,  returned  to  Stornoway  Castle.  He 
settled  Tonjuil,  his  son,  at  Strath  Clionen  ;  his  youngest  son  was 
sent  to  Cain  Morrison's  house  at  Xess ;  and  a  son  of  Cain  IMorri- 
son  was  fostered  by  ^Nlacleod  at  Stornoway,  thus  showing  the 
friendshij)  and  good  understanding  between  the  families. 

When  matters  had  continued  in  tliis  way  for  some  time,  a 
Avicked  man  who  used  to  be  going  back  and  fore  between  Ness 
and  Stornoway,  came  one  day  into  Ma.-leod's  castle  and  said  that 
Cain  IVIorrison  had,  in  a  violent  i)assion,  killed  Macleod's  child. 
3Iacleod  unfortunately  believed  it  to  l)e  true,  and  in  his  anger 
killed  the  son  of  Cain  ]\[orris(in.  'J'he  wicked  incendiary  then 
Hies  off  to  Xess,  and  tells  that  he  saw  jMacleod  kill  the  young 
Morrison.  Cain,  on  hearing  of  the  murder,  couM  not  conceive 
any  reason  for  it,  and  thougli  the  young  Macleod  was  much  loved 
by  all  the  family,  he  was  not  spared. 

Thus  the  ]ieace  of  those  families  wns  broken  by  this  wicked 
incendiary.  It  is  told  that  when  Judge  ^Morrison,  with  the  laird's 
oonrurrence,  executed  all  the  John  ^Vlacleods  in  Lewis,  some  of 
the  relations  of  this  wicked  man  suffered  witli  them,  and  this  was 
the  way  he  took  to  revenge  the  <leath  of  his  friends;  and  it  was 
through  him  that  the  ^Macleods  of  Lewis  became  extinct.  Instead 
of  jieace  betv.een  the  ]Macleods  and  Morrisons,  there  was  now 
nothing  but  murder  and  bloodshed.  Cain  ^Morrison  was  at  last 
obliged  to  Hee  to  the  mainlaml,  where  he  ■\\  as  killed  by  a  cottar 
in  an  ishuid  by  Loch  Broom,  since  then  called  "Judge's  Island." 

Allan  IVIore  Morrison  then  took  his  father's  jdace  at  Xess,  and 
fighting  went  on  between  tin'  two  clans  whereby  both  suffered 
severely  in  their  |iro])ci-ty  and  friends.* 

The  circumstance  which  gave  name  to  Kilean  cC  Jiritheimh^  or 
Jii(lgi'"s  Isl.and,  has  been  descrilied  al>ove.  The  custom  of  sending 
a  child  to  be  fostt'redj  in  !i  i'anuly  which  had  been  at  deadly  feud 
with  the  parents  of  the  child,  although  intended  to  stn-ngthen 
in  the  strongest  manner  the  truce  between  the  families,  often  led 
to  his  destruction.  We  shall  have  another  instance  of  fosterage 
in  the  murderer's  family  in  the  traditions  of  the  Lewis  ^lacaidays. 

In  an  edition  of  the  Letterfearn  MS.  History  of  the  ^Nlacken- 
y.ies,  copied  into  ^lorrison's  "  Traditions  of  Lewis,"  after  stating 
that  the  brieve  was  hated  for  his  '  eachery  to  Torcjuil  Dii,  there 
occurs,  "as  also  killing  a  son  of  ^^'Leo(^s  [Tor(|uil  l)u's]  when  a 
child  nursing  in  his  own  ho\ise."  '1  his  senti'uce  is  not  in  (iregory's 
copy  of  the  Letterfi'arn  MS.,  but  it  is  the  only  corroboration  I 
can  lind  of  the  preceding  legend.

"Towards  the  end  of  the  seventi'cnth  century,  the  wlmle  of 
Ijcwis  formed  but  two  parishes,  IJarvas  and  K\  (Stornoway). 
The  minister  of  IJarvas  was  Rev.  Donald  Morrison,  who 
must  have  been  liorn  aliout  Hl'id  ;  he  was  a  urandson  of  the 
hidge.  Wlii-n  Rev.  Donald  .Morrison  was  minister  of  ]>arvas, 
(lis  brotlier.  Rev.  Kknnkiii  ]Mouison,  was  minister  of  Storno- 
way. He  also  confornu'd  to  the  I'resliyterian  church,  lie  was  a 
hijj^hly  sjjifted  man,  and  well  suited  to  repress  the  turmoils  which 
then  existed  in  Lewis  between  the  Papists  and  Protestants,  for 
he  usi'd  to  walk  from  his  manse  at  Tonu  to  the  churcli  at  Storno-

had  two  men   staudinu'  with    drawn    swords  at   the  door  of   the

From  the  "•Chicago  'I'inies,"  Saturday,  .\u^.  'Jtl,  1S(1(»,  I  extract 
the  folio wini.'',  t.aken  from  the  "Montreal  Telcifraph  "  :  — 

"Tiic  name  of  William  Morrison  is  identical  witli  the  rise  and 
proirn-ss  (d'  the  fur  trade  in  Minnesota.  .  .  .  He  wa^  ever 
popular  amonn'  the  Indian  tribi's,  ;uid  amouLJ  tlu'in  his  inthuMicc

"3Ir.  jMorrisoii  w.is  livinj^  at  Sandy  Lake  at  the  tinio  when  tlic 
ijreat  chief,  called  'The  I'rophet'  (brother  to  Tecuuiseli,  who,  unlike 
liis  brother  chief,  was  ever  loyal  ti>  the  Uritish  goveriiiuent ),  sent 
out  his  mandates  to  all  the  West  to  muster  the  tribes  to  a  <;eneral 
massacre  of  the  whites.  The  luessaLTe  was  sent  secretly  by  runners 
with  aceompanyiuuc  tob.acco.  If  the  terms  were  .'iceeded  to,  the 
tobacco  was  cut  and  smoked.  Thus  the  Indians  throushout  the 
country  became  apprised  of  the  prophet's  order  without  the 
knowledge  of  the  whites.  Hut  a  sudden  change  was  observed 
in  the  conduct  of  tlu/  Indians.  Never  before  were  signs  so 
ominous  of  evil,  and  matters  daily  assumed  a  more  gloomy 
asjiect.  It  was  evident  that  some  proin])t  action  must  be  taken  to 
avert  the  ini])ending  evil,  and  Mr.  Morrison  was  electi'd  as  the 
oidy  one  able  to  break  up  the  plot.  Cheerfidly  he  accepted  the 
dangerotis  mission,  and  accordingly  started  off  to  visit  the  assem- 
bled tribes.  Me  took  with  him  two  men,  paddled  slowly  down 
the  river,  and  jtassed  the  Indians'  camp.  Some  children  ))laying 
on  the  bank  first  discovered  him,  and  rejxirted  that  'Little 
Englishman '  (as  he  was  called)  was  coming  down  the  river. 
All  ran  out  to  meet  him.  They  would  speak  to  him,  if  to  none 
other.  Anxious  to  learn  if  the  whites  were  still  ignorant  of  tlie 
plot,  they  asked  if  ho  had  any  news.     'Oh,  nothing  I  '  he  replied

kintXi  heiiiL!,'  the  si'(|iiestercd  estates  of  the  Ifish  reliels.  To  hold 
in  cheek  the  wild  and  tiirliiikiit  spirits  of  his  Irish  snl)jects,  he 
induced  an  emigration  of  his  Scotch  eoiintrymi'ii  to  the  province 
of  Ulster  in  Ireland.  This  was  in  the  year  Kll'J.  In  U'tl:>,  the 
first  I'reshyterian  chiireh  ever  estalilished  in  Ireland,  was  founded 
at  Hallycorry,  comity  of  Antrim.* 

Till'  einiiirants  w<'re  riuid  Pri'siiyterians.  A  iiitter  lend  existed 
hetween  the  Catholic  Irish,  whcise  estates  had  l)een  confiscated, 
and  the  Scotch  I'resliyti'rians  who  occupied  tlu'in. 

In  l(J4l  there  was  a  massacre  of  the  l'rt)testants,  and  over 
forty  thousand  of  them  perishi'd.  A  change  soon  occurred  in  the 
goverinneiit  ;  royalty  fel] ;  tlu'  protectorate  was  estahlished  ;  and 
a  man  was  placeil  at  the  lielm  of  state  who  was  hoth  ahle  and 
willing  to  protect  the  Protestants  from  tlu'ir  higoted  enemies. 
In  l()4!)  the  strong  arm  of  Cromwell  hori'  an  avenging  sword, 
punished  the  Catholics,  and  broiiglit  peace  to  the  country. 

On  the  accession,  in  ItiOO,  of  Charles  II  to  the  throne  of  Eng- 
land, he  ap))ointed  Ids  brother  James  (afterward  James  IT)  viceroy 
of  Scotland.  J.imes  w;i.s  a  bigoted  Catholic,  and  the  Scotcli 
Presbyterians  were  the  legitimate  objects  of  his  hate.  Thi'  fires 
of  persecution  were  rekindled  ;  the  sword  was  again  unshe:ithed, 
and   bathed  in   the   blood  of  "thousands  of  slaughtered  saints."

Scotch  oriti'in,  are  a  perversion  of  ti'iith.  and  false  to  liistory. 

All  evidi-nce  shows  that  thi'  l>laiid  of  F.ewis,*  settled  by 
Norsenu'n,  was  the  cradle  of  the  family;  that  memhers  of 
it  crossed  to  the  maiidand  of  Scotland,  passed  into  Knifjand, 
Irelanil,  and   spreail  from   tlu'ii'  o\  cr  the  earth. 

It  was  formerly  common  to  nse  the  terms  // /,sA  as  ajipiied  to

tiie  facts  to  their  theory,  they  have  fancied  that  they  could  detect 
in  the  cliaracter  of  the  Loiidoinlerry  settlers  the  traits  ilerived

So  liis  hoiiio  over  after  was  near  the  "West  Running  Brook." 
This  hmd  is  situated  about  one  niile  southwest  of  Derry  East 
jNIeeting-house,  in  what  was  known  in  the  early  history  of  Lon- 
(U)n(U'rry  as  tlie  "Double  Range."  It  is  east  of  tlie  turnpike, 
lying  bet ux'en  (he  turnpike  and  tlie  residence  of  Col.  (Jeorge  VV. 
Lane.  Part,  if  not  tlie  whole,  of  the  land  is  now  included  in  the 
farm  of  a  3[r.  Xoyes.  From  time  to  time  other  lands  came  into 
his  |)()ss('ssion. 

(^uiet  and  unassuming  as  we  imagine  our  ancestor  to  have  been, 
still  hi'  did  not  wholly  escape  the  jterplexities  of  life,  and  in 
company  with  others  entered  his  strong  ])rotest  against  Avhat  he 
considcreil  mi  unjust  division  of  lands  among  the  settlers,  and 
asked  for  redress. 

There  were  disturbing  elements  in  the  society  of  the  early 
settlers.  Sellishness  was  ])rominent  then,  as  now,  in  the  Itreasts 
of  all.  Many  of  those  who  lived  in  the  "J)ouble  Range"  were 
dissatisfied  with  the  division  and  distribution  of  the  land.  "One 
method,  'to  do  as  they  would  be  done  by,'  did  not  jirevail  there." 
So  fourteen  freeholders  in  the  township  of  J.,ondonderry  (now 
Derry)  signed  the  annexed  ]>etition  :  —

settled  the  difference  anions^  tlieiiiselves,  and  liuinhly  ])rayed  the 
(Tovernmont  to  ffive  a  sanetioii  to  their  agreement. 

"Tn  Council,  May  -J.'J,  17lJS,  Voted,  that  the  Said  Agreement  he 
an<l  lierehy  is  estahlished  and  contirnied.  'IMie  Agrenient  Avas  as 
follows.  At  a  Proprietary  ]\[eeting  at  Londonderry  the  15"'  day 
of  April  17'JS,  it  was  voted  that  the  fourteen  petitioners  '  shall 
have  Five  I[undre<l  and  Ninetyfour  acres  of  land  within  the  said 
Town  of  Londonderry.'  The  petitioners  shall  have  one  half  the 
land  that  fronts  on  Cobhetts  Poml,  on  the  South  side  and  the 
East  end  of  the  said  pond,  so  beginning  at  the  nii<ldle  of  said 
Pond  and  running  out  a  s(iuare  line  from  the  Pond  Three  Hun- 
dred and  twenty  rtxls  if  Policy  Pond  will  allow,  thence  extend- 
ing East  not  to  run  ])ast  ye  east  end  of  Policy  l\)nd  southerly, 
and  so  running  along  ye  habitable  land  breaking  no  form  of  land 
until  the  aforesaid  Petitioners'  com])liment  of  live  hundred  and 
ninety  four  acres  is  made  up  exclusive  of  any  meadow,"  *  etc. 

P:irt,  if  not  all,  of  this  land  was  laid  out  in  October  of  172S. 
Like  the  rest  of  the  common  land  of  Londonderry,  it  was  formed 
into  a  "range,"  so  that  it  might  "be  laid  out  in  order."  This  was 
the  origin  of  that  section  of  farms,  which  for  nearly  one  hundred 
and  fifty  years  has  been  known  as  "AVindham  Kange."  f  Tlie 
land  laid  out  to  James  Morison,  Xov.  IS,  172S,  in  conse(|uence  of 
this  ])rotcst  and  ])etition,  has  furnished  a  liome  for  many  of  liis 
descendants  down  to  the  jircsent  day.  It  is  noAv  owned  by  his 
great-great-grandson,  Albert  A.  Morrison.  In  his  possession  also 
is  a  Bible  once  belonging  to  our  ancestor,  and  was  used  by  Iiim 
in  liis  daily  devotions.  It  is  strongly  bound,  and  was  closed 
originally  with  clasps,  though  they  are  now  broken.  It  was 
printed  in  1725.  It  bears  the  marks  of  use,  and  some  of  its  ])ages 
are  stained  by  tlie  sea-waves  when  crossing  the  Atlantic,  a  cen- 
tiiry  and  a  half  ago  or  more. 

He  was  one  of  the  selectmen  of  Londonderry  in  17'25.  He 
married  Mary  Wallace,  in  Ireland,  by  whom  lie  liad  two  sons, 
Ilalbert  and  Samuel.  She  died  in  Ireland,  and  he  came  to 
America,  and  married  Janet  Steele,  and  had  five  children. 

There  seems  to  have  been  a  general  closing  up  of  his  affairs  on 
March  5,  1756,  and  several  deeds  from  him  to  his  sons  bear  this 
date.  These  were  not  acknowledged  befoi  e  a  justice  of  the  ])cace, 
and  those  who  witnessed  them  were  obliged  to  appear  at  ])robate 
court  at  Portsmouth,  N.  IL,  .Tune  9,  1757,  to  testify  and  establish 
the    legality    of    the    writings.      The    records    say,     "And    it    is

1747,  liis  name  appears  on  tlie  Windham  records  as  hi<j]i\vay 
surveyor.  Under  <iate  of  Fel>.  "JO,  1750,  Ilalhert  IMorison,  and 
his  wife  Mary,  deed  their  home  in  Windham  to  John  Christy,  for 
the  consideration  of  six  hundri'(l  pounds,  old  tenor.  %  A\>v\\  "JK, 
17")"i,  Ilalhert,  David,  and  Samuel  oVIorison  deeded  land  to  .Joseph 
Mlanohard  in  "  \ew  Plantation  or  Townsliip  Monadnock  No.  ;">, 
within  Mason's  Patent."  S  This  Monadnock  No.  o  was  incorpo- 
rated as  iVIarlltoro',  Dec.  1:5,  177(1.||  He  next  appears  in  Peter- 
l»orou<i'h,  N.  II.,  July  ;">,  175:).  He  i>ousxht  land  there,  which  he 
deeded  to  his  cousin  by  marriatje,  William  Smith,  and  the  father 
of  the  leanu'd  jurist,  Judtie  Jeremiali  Smith. 'f  In  1757,  at  the 
vendue  of  his  father's  ]iersonal  property,  Lieut.  Samuel  Morison 
speaks,  in  one  of  lils  pa))er.s,  of  "bro.  Ilalbert''  as  beint;  ]iresent. 

In  17(11,  he  was  in  Andierst,  N.  II.,  and  there  he  lived  the 
remainder  of  his  life.  May  S,  17(15,  he  bou<j;ht  oiu'  lot  of  land  in 
Andierst  of  sixty  acres. 

On  the  twelfth  day  of  August,  1771,  he  deeded  away  a  certain 
"  Ritjht  or  Tract  Throutrhout  the  Township  of  Monadnock  No.  5, 
being  :i  whole  liight  or  Proprietor's  Share  of  land  in  said  Monad- 
nock of  wliich  I  am  the  original  Grantee."**  The  exact  date  of 
his  death  is  unknown  ;  but  it  was  previous  to  Jan.  27,  1779.  On 
that  date  one  Garfield  took  out  letters  of  administration  on  his 
estate,  but  it  was  not  fully  settled  in  17S0,  when  license  was 
granted  to  sell  his  real  estate  and  pay  debts. ft  Ht>  married  Mary 
(Nickles,  ])robably).  From  the  Londonderry  records  it  a])))ears^ 
that  Ilalbert  and  Mary  had  one  child,  Martha,  born  June  18,  1750. 
This  is  all  that  is  known  of  him  or  Ids  descendants.  %%

XX  And  to  show  the  difficulties  which  environ  one  who  searches  after 
genealogical  facts,  where  there  are  no  correct  records  kept,  I  will  state 
that  the  only  clew  I  had  to  the  history  of  Halbert  Morison,  beyond  the  faint 
tradition  that  such  a  person  had  existed,  was  found  in  a  scrap  of  dateless 
paper,  a  copy  of  which  is  appended,  directed  to  his  brother  ,Tohu  Morison. 
It  was  found  among  tiie  papers  of  Lieut.  Samuel  ^lorison  :  — 

"Sur  this  is  to  Let  you  know  that  one  gefeel  of  merymack  is  administered 
on  Holbarts  Esteat  and  I  did  not  know  of  it  for  he  has  no  Rite  to  do

iniK'li  to  thank  7'/ttr  for,  and  as  tinu'  \s  nhort,  we'll  postpone  it 
till  eternity.  Anien."  Mr.  Morison  was  .a  riu'id  I'reshyterian, 
like  all  his  race,  and  alnxit  I  TOD  hecame  one  of  the  elders  of  the 
<-liurch  in  Windham. 

In  the  town  records  lie  is  .alluded  to  as  "Samuel  IMorison, 
(Jentleman";  also  in  many  deeds,  lie  was  prominent  in  all  the 
affairs  of  the  town,  and  much  en<;;aj^ed  in  husini'ssof  a  puhlic  n.-iturc, 
as  appears  from  his  p.apers  .and  from  many  records.  For  that  time 
he  w.as  well  educated,  ha\  iiiif  received  a  fail-  education  in  Ireland 
before  his  emiLTr.ation  to  Londonilerry.  In  the  possession  of  the 
writer  is  a  lile  of  papers  which  once  were  his  ("Kssex  (t.i/ettc," 
Mass.,  for  years  1774 -"-"i),  of  much  interest  and  v.alne.  The  old  ;mti- 
<|uated  house,  :it  the  meetinir  of  three  roads,  in  which  he  lived 
(and  a  portion  of  whicii  he  huilt),  still  .stands.  It  is  the  Morison 
Homestead,  of  Windham,  N.  II.,  and  an  eni^ravint;  of  it  is  ijivcn. 
The  end  of  the  house  near<'st  the  harn,  he  huilt,  not  tar  from  l7-">tt, 
and  occupied  it.*  In  it  have  heen  many  scenes  of  "exuhei'ant 
mirth"  and  the  dee|iest  s.aduess.  Inside  its  w.alls  many  hivve  been 
ushered  into  life,  .and  the  clock  has  ticke(l  many  lives  .away. 
<  Jcner.ations  have  ii'i>ue  with  ".all  they  loved,"  with  hopes  ful- 
Hlled  or  unfultilled,  and  are  .almost  forj^otten;  hut  the  <iand»rel- 
roofed  house  stands;  .and  now,  .as  in  the  "lonij,  lonj^  a<^o,"  the 
openinjx  k'""'.^'  "'"  "''''.^'  J^idutes  it.  With  an  anecdote  or  two  I 
will  hid  it  adieu. 

The  o\v!ier  of  the  place  at  one  time  had  .a  shoe])  not  noted  for 
its  <;enial  and  .amiahle  ciualities.  In  truth,  its  "hump  of  cond)at- 
iveness"  seenu'd  to  he  p.artitadarly  pronnneut,  so  miieli  so  that 
its  "  hutting  "  propensity  had  acipured  for  it  an  unenviahle 
ri'put.ation.  Under  the  tutelage  of  "the  hoys,"  these  n.atiir.al 
char.acteristics  were  not  repressed,  but  "became  chronic."  He 
was  no  res|)ecter  of  persons,  places,  or  conditions,  lie  had  no 
eye  for  the  "  eti'rnal  fitness  of  things,"  in  the  common  and  ac- 
cepted meaning  of  the  term.  All  I'ules  of  good  tasti  and  pro- 
priety  were  \iolated  on  this  occasion.  It  so  liappi  iied  one 
unfortunate   niornint'-,   wiule  the    family    were    in    the    midst    of 

.  •  •  • 

their  morning  devotions,  that  the  following  incident  occurred. 
The  chapter  from  Holy  Writ  had  been  read;  the  venciable 
man  was  upon  his  bended  knees  in  ))rayer.  His  elbow  restt'(l 
upon  :i  ch.air,  and  his  head  rested  on  his  hand.  Ho  was  facing 
the  pantry  door,  and  on  a  di.agonal  line  from  the  outside  door  of 
the  hou.se,  which  Avas  open.  At  this  moment,  the  .sheoj)  we  have 
described  was  passing  the  outside  door,  when  one  of  "the  boys" 
who  s.at  near  shook  his  hat  at  him.  This  w.as  enough;  he 
accepted  the  wager  of  battle. 

"Not  a  nioment  stopped  or  staj'ctl  he,"

but  in  the  twinkliiij;  of  an  eye  throufjfh  the  door  lie  came,  for 
tlie  hat,  but  it  was  witlidrawn,  and  the  only  object  which  greeted 
his  startled  vision  was  the  ]i(,'iid  of  the  house  on  his  knees  in  the 
manner  described.  Him  he  hit  in  such  a  manner,  and  Avith  so 
much  vigor,  that  man  and  chair  and  sheep  were  mingled  in  a 
confused  mass  u))on  the  floor.  Tradition  does  not  tell  us  what 
was  said  by  the  elder  at  this  moment.  What  would  be  apt  to  be 
said  would  depend  largely  upon  the  temperament,  training,  and 
character  of  the  individual. 

With  one  more  anecdote  the  record  of  "  Samuel  Morison, 
Gentleman,"  is  closed.  It  is  uncertain  whether  this  has  to  do 
with  him  or  his  father  James,  lie  wished  to  keej)  his  children 
free  from  all  "Irish"  ways  or  exjjressions,  and  was  particularly 
guarded  in  his  manner  of  training  them.  At  one  time,  a  person 
present  at  his  home  exclaimed  to  one  of  the  children,  "  Gang 
and  get  the  s))irtle  "  *  (|)\idding-stick),  when  the  offender  Avas 
sjx'cdily  rebuked  for  the  "Irish"  expression. 

IFe  n;'irried  Martha  Allison,  daughter  of  Samuel  Allison, t  of 
the  Double  Kange,  Londonderry.  She  As:is  born  in  Londonderry, 
^farch  HI,  l~'20,  and  was  the  first  female  child  of  European 
extraction  born  in  that  town.     She  died  Dec.  3,  17G1. 

Lieut.  Samuel  Morison  died  Feb.  11,  177G,  aged  72  years.  In 
tlu'  ancient  burial-place  at  the  head  of  Windham  Kange,  over- 
looking the  clear,  l)right,  sparkUng  waters  of  Cobbett's  Pond,  he 
and  his  wife  Martha  Allison  rest  side  by  side.  The  old  head- 
stones are  covered  with  moss,  a;id  time  with  its  effacing  finger 
has  nearly  obliterated  the  record  upon  their..  Cu  his  headstone 
is  this  inscription, — 

"  Tliougli  I  am  buried  in  the  dust, 
I  hope  to  rise  among  the  just." 

A  fac-simile  of  his  autograph  is  given  below :  —

*  This  is  a  Scotch  expression,  and  is  another  illustration  of  the  habit 
of  using  the  term  "  Irish  "  for  tluit  wliicli  is  purely  Scotcli. 

t  Siunucl  Allison  was  the  emigrant,  and  his  family  was  one  of  the  first 
sixteen  families.  He  had  four  children :  1.  Janet,  m.  Samuel  Morison,

Windham  (No.  10).  3.  Rebecca,  m.  Mr.  Gyvas.  4.  Samuel  Allison,

His  son  Samuel,  m.  Mary  Barr,  and  removed  to  Dunbarton,  N.  H.,  and  had 
cloven  children ;  and  his  son  John  removed  to  Peterboro',  N.  H. ;  and  an-

jNicGreyore,  May  "Jti,  174!),  to  whom  it  was  laid  out  Oct.  2-i,  17:28. 
Samuel  Morison  received  a  deed  of  this  farm  from  his  fatlier,  Feb. 
5,  1770.  Auj;.  'JO,  1777,  he  was  with  tlie  company  from  London- 
derry, under  (it-neral  Stark,  whii'h  j»art'  'pated  in  the  ])attle  of 
Benninyton. 

Accordiiiii,-  to  Horaces  (Jreelev,  tlie  speech  of  dieneral  Stark  to 
his  men,  just  ])revi()us  to  the  enga<:;enient,  was  substantially  ;is 
follows:  "Hoys!  you  see  those  Hessians.  King  George  paid 
£4.  7.S".  O.'A  apiece  for  'em.  I  reckon  i/ou  are  worth  more.  If  not, 
Molly  Stark  sleeps  a  widow  to-night."  IMoi'ison  came  out  of  the 
battle  unharmed.  In  the  midst  of  the  engagement,  he  ste])])ed 
behind  .a  small  tree  to  load  his  gun,  when  a  ball  struck  the  tree  in 
the  centri'.  His  pai't  of  the  sjtoils  of  war  was  a  razor-case,  jiickcd

a  vigorous,  jiraetical  mind,  and  was  well  educated,  considering  his 
meagre  opportunities.  There  are  l)ooks  in  existence,  in  his  hand- 
wi''*ing,  tilled  with  his  mathematical  investigations,  which  would 
do  credit  to  a  college  gra(biate.  He  made  considerable  ])rogress 
in  geometry  and  other  branches.  Tliere  Mas  no  poetry  in  his

rather  remarkable  incident  in  his  life,  and  one  that  hajijiens  to 
but  few  extremely  old  jteople.  ]\Ir.  ^lorrison  visited  his  early 
home  but  a  few  times  after  his  departure  in  liis  youth.  In  the 
winter  of  1S77,  Dea.  Jonathan  Cochran,  of  Melrose,  Mass.,  a 
companion  of  his  boyish  days,  and  a  relative,  visited  Chicago, 
and  called  to  see  his  old  friend,  whom  he  had  not  seen  since  Mr. 
Morrison's  first  departure  from  Windham  in  1807.  Xow'  they 
met  twelve  hundred  miles  away  from  their  early  home ;  seventy 
years  had  passed  away ;  two  and  a  half  generations  of  men  had 
come  into  this  busy  world,  had  performed  their  ])arts,  and  were 
slumbering  in  the  ])eaceful  bosom  of  mother  eartli.  When  they 
separated,  the  "man  of  destiny"  was  in  the  midst  of  his  dazzling 
career,  and  the  world  was  being  torn  as  by  a  tornado.

Tlie  youth  of  Rev.  A.  I).  Morrill  was  spent  upon  the  farm. 
He  possessed  goo<l  musical  ahilitit's,  and  tausjjht  vocal  music  in 
his  early  manhood.  His  tine  voice  and  extensive  culture  j)roved 
a  potent  power  in  his  sacred  calling,  lie  was  the  author  of  the 
music  to  which  the  beautiful  words  are  attached, — 

"  .ToyfiiUy,  ,i()\  riilly,  onwiird  I  move, 
Bound  for  the  land  of  bright  spirits  above," 

which  has  been  sung  by  thousands,  bringing  to  their  souls  the 
sweetness  of  peace,  sung  by  many  Avho  have  "passed  on"  and  be- 
come "bright  spirits  above,"  and  by  many  of  that  great  advancing 
army  whose  feet  have  not  yet  reached  the  cold  waters  of  the 
dark  river.  Mr.  Merrill,  through  the  influence  of  his  wife,  and 
under  the  power  of  a  revival,  was  convi'rted,  and  in  less  than  a 
year  he  began  to  ]»reach  with  great  accept.ibility.  In  I't^'l'l  he 
was  stationed  in  Landaff,  X.  IT.  His  services  were  soon  sought 
by  iuHiiential  churches,  and  from  llS'JD  till  his  death  he  found  a 
field  of  eminent  usefulness  in  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  and 
Vermont.  As  a  jtreacher,  he  was  direct,  simple,  and  i)lain  in 
method,  jtowerful  in  expression,  combine(l  Avitli  an  earnestness 
and  ))athos  which  were  powerful  in  influence  tin  the  hearts  of  his 
hearers.  Many  in  New  England  have  recognized  him  as  their 
sjdritual  father.  In  all  the  relations  of  husband,  ])arent,  friend, 
citizen,  and  ])astor  he  actpiitted  himself  well.  He  died  in  lioston, 
leaving  a  widow  by  a  second  marriage.  He  Avas  born  March  7, 
17U0;  died  A])ril  liO,  1S78.     Nancy  Morrison,  his  wife,  died  Jan.

account  of  his  life,  and  tribute  to  his  ineinory,  is  from  the  ])en  of 
the  late  Rev.  Lorenzo  D.  Barrows,  d.  d.,  of  Plymouth,  N.  IL:  — 

"Mr.  Morrison,  when  about  thirty  years  of  age,  at  Braintree, 
Mass.,  became  a  Christian,  and  inomber  of  the  Methodist  Episco- 
pal church ;  and  to  the  close  of  his  useful  life,  nobly  maintained 
that  character.  He  resided  and  did  a  large  business  in  Salem, 
N.  11. ,  some  ten  or  eleven  years,  when  he  removed  to  the  city  of 
Lawrence,  Mass.  From  here,  after  several  years,  he  removed  to 
Bytield,  Mass.,  and  again  entered  into  the  business  of  nninnfac- 
turing,  in  which  he  had  alifady  acquired  a  handsome  ])roperty. 
In  all  of  these  places  where  he  resided  he  was  regarded  as  a  man 
of  marked  character,  and  his  memory  is  'like  ointment  ]K)ured 
forth.' 

"  Ilis  business  talents  were  first-class,  and  his  habits  ])rompt, 
energetic,  and  honest.  Great  modesty  and  courtesy  marked  his 
bearing  towards  all,  with  much  tenderness  and  sympathy  for  his 
intimate  friends.     His  hand  w:is  stretched  out  in  aid  of  every

Having  acquirod  !i  thorough  knowledge'  of  the  husincss,  he  in 
coinpanv  Avitli  liis  brotlicr  Leonard  commenced  tlie  manufacture 
of  woolen  goods.  They  soon  attained  a  high  rej)utation,  as  the 
goods  inaniifactured  by  them  wert'  the  Ix'st  in  the  market.  They 
remained  in  comjiany  tive  years,  when  they  dissolvetl  j)artnershij). 
He  continued  the  business  at  Uraintree,  and  Leonard  started  anew 
at  Salem,  X.  H.  By  close  attention  to  business  and  strict  integ- 
rity, he  accumulatecl  wealth.  He  remained  in  business  until  ISTI, 
when  he  retired,  and  was  succeeded  by  his  sons,  who  still  main- 
tain the  higii  reputation  which  he  established  in  183L  He  was 
several  times  ciiosen  to  the  Massachusetts  legislature  as  senator 
and  representative,  and  was  the  recipient  of  other  important 
trusts  from  his  fellow-townsmen,  who  relied  im]ilicitly  n])on  his 
high  integrity  and  intelligence.  He  was  a  large-hearted,  Avhole- 
souled  man.  In  his  ])rivate  as  well  as  public  life,  he  Avas  highly 
esteemed  for  great  energy  of  character  and  strength  of  ]iurj)ose. 
The  wealth  which  he  accumulated  he  made  generous  use  of,  in 
])ublic  and  ])rivate  benevolence.  He  was  greatly  interested  in  the 
lionor  and  success  of  his  country ;  and  viewed  ■with  distrust  many 
of  the  po])ular  movements  of  the  jn-esent  time.  He  was  a  man 
of  much  reading ;  he  loved  and  a])])reciated  the  best  works  of 
English  literature.  In  the  intervals  of  business,  he  was  given  to 
study  books  of  science  and  theology,  and  upon  these  subjects 
formed  inde))endent  and  jirogressive,  though  thoroughly  reverent 
opinions.  Keligion  was  with  him  a  ))ractical  tlr  g  for  every-d;iy 
use,  and  his  sense  of  duty  towards  his  fellow-man  and  God  was 
the  l)ighest. 

He  was  very  domestic  in  his  tastes,  and  found  his  greatest 
enjoyment  in  his  home.  In  return  for  his  great  love  of  his  family, 
he  found  them  ever  ready  to  bestow  on  hini  the  warmest  aifection 
and  sym])athy,  and  he  received  from  them  that  considerate  care 
and  kindness  which  seemed  to  him  so  beautiful,  during  the  last 
few  weeks  of  his  life.     He  died  May  28,  1.S7J).

Its  earlier  jirosperity  was  largely  due  to  his  inventive  genius.  All

a  match  not  particularly  to  his  peace,  h;ippiiiess,  or  rt'speetahility. 
He  was  a  liiijlily  niftecl  ni:in,  with  Ltrejit  inireiiuity,  tieiierous  in  thi' 
extreme,  hut  unfortunately  possi'ssi'd  of  what  is  too  often  the 
curs((  of  superior  endowments,  a  violent  temper,  and  a  want  of 
self-control  which  sometimes  led  to  intemperance.  His  early  life 
was  spent  in  Londomlerry ;  indeeil,  he  had  the  distinction  of  lieiii<j 
the  first  male  child  horn  in  Londonderry.  lie  was  an  orator  hy

would  j,'o  to  the  tavern  with  him  for  dinner,  lie  ordered  dinner 
for  Ids  thirty  friends,  and  |iaid  tldrty  dollars. 

He  removed  to  I'eterhorouijfh,  N.  II.,  among  the  lirsl  emigrants,

mechanic  in  llie  town.  ''  lie  could  turn  his  hand  to  any  mechan- 
ical art  or  trade.  He  was  a  millwright,  a  Maeksmilh,  a  carpenter, 
a  housi'-jtiiner,  a  stone-cutter,  a  gun-maker,  and  had  the  reputation 
of  heing  really  a  workman  at  all  these  trades."  The  lirst  saw  and

several  attempis  to  gel  the  Hour,  in  pMiTi.-inieiitary  phrase,  and  the

w;is,  "•that  the  l)laeksmith"s  tr;ide  w;is  the  liist,  foi- t  he  lil.-'.eksmith 
Jn;nle  the  needle  for  them  to  sew  the  leaves  with."'  'I'bis  seltletl

;i  n'reat  misfortune  in  lireakiny  his  f;ivorite  needle,  and  he  had 
hroiiirht  it  ttt  the  lilacksmith's  shop  to  he  mended,  .'mil  asked 
yoiiiiii'  .Moi'ison  if  he  eould  do  it.  "■(),  yes,"  said  .Morison;  "I

tailor  did  as  reipiested,  and  went  aw  ay  with  a  smiling  eounteuanee. 
After  the  t.ailor's  ilepartnre,  Mt)rison  took  the  needle  into  tht^ 
house,  ;iml  found  another  resen;l)linL;-  the  hmken  t)ne  in  every

the  other  was  hroken,  and  stuck  it  in  the  Iteam  where  the  other 
ha<l  heen  left.  In  the  nit)rning  the  tailor  called  ft)r  his  needle, 
and  wanted  to  know  if  it  '•  w  .as  iloiie."  Mtyrison  was  pounding 
aw.ay  vigortiusly  :it  his  ;ni\il,  hut  looking  up,  s.aiil,  "S'es;  you

"Only  ;i  ilollar,"  said  Mtirison.  The  doll.ar  w.is  paiil,  and  the 
tailor  went  forth  from  that  shop  a  sad  :iml  crestfallen  man.

in  PctiTlMiroiii^jli,  N.  II.,  some  years  iK't'orc.  In  the  siirin<;  of 
1700,  with  sixteen  otiiers,  he  went  to  Truro,  N.  S.  Their  families

Ituilt  there,  .and  they  took  tlu'  lumher  and  material  for  them  from 
lioston,  iMass.  In  1707->',  lie  removed  to  Londonderry,  \.  S.,  where 
he  s|(ent  the  rem.ainder  of  his  life,  with  the  e.vception  of  a  few 
years  spent  in  New  llam|ishire  during  the  Hevolutionary  war. 
In  177<I  lie  was  elected  representative,  and  took  his  seat  in  the 
assembly,  lie  was  the  first  member  ever  sent  from  Londonderry. 
lie  served  for  seven  years  in  parliament,  costiiiir  him  the  |  '.ce  of 
a  pair  of  u;ood  fat  cattle  every  winter  for  his  bo.ard,  as  the  mem- 
bers did  not  re<'eive  pay  for  their  st'rv  ices,  lie  was  a  justice  of 
the  peace,  and  took  an  active  part  in  the  business  of  tin-  county. 
lie  was  (piick  to  perceive,  and  hard  to  deceive;  was  blest  with  a 
u'reat  memory  ami  a  i^enerous  spirit.  Like  most  of  the  race  to 
which  he  belonu;ed,  he  possessed  positive  opinions,  which  he  ex- 
pressed with  fearlessness  and  ardor.  In  17/7  hi'  returned  to

The  followiuif  anecdotes  will  show  '.he  frank,  blunt  outs|M)kcn-

which  the  French  iidiabitants  had  been  expi'lled,  .and  which  has 
Itei'u  made  famous  iiy  the  poet  Lont^fellow  in  his  pathetic  story 
of  KvauLTeline.  Some  thirty-live  years  after  its  settlement  by 
the  Knti'lish.  the  lieuli'iiant-trovci-iu)r  of  the  province  visited

pros]X'  ity  he  exerted  over  the  coiiiiminity  an  elevating  and 
enliglueniiig  iiithienee;  that  he  was  by  his  character  and  intelli- 
gence a  )tublic  educator,  and  raised  and  snstained  the  iouo  of 
public  sentiment  in  Peterborough,  N.  H.  He  delighted  in  politics, 
and  had  devoted  much  attention  and  study  to  it,  never  Avishing 
to  be  known  by  any  other  title  than  that  of  a  federalist  of  the  old 
school,  with  all  the  unmerited  re])roach  attached  to  the  name, 
lie  was  chosen  to  represent  his  district  in  congress  in  1S18-15, 
but  on  account  of  the  jircss  of  his  private  business,  he  resigned 
his  seat,  after  attending  the  iirst  session  and  a  ])art  of  the  second. 
He  possessed  great  business  talents,  and  could  accomplish  a  great 
undertaking  with  singular  dispatch  and  success  ;  but  he  scorned 
little  things,  and  all  cai-e  and  ecoiu)my  of  these  lu^  entirely 
ignored.  The  conseipieiice  of  this  was,  that  he  never  had  things 
well  done,  however  shrewdly  jjrojected.  He  always  had  a  nice 
sense  of  right.  There  are  few  acts  of  his  long  business  life  on 
which  you  can  lay  your  hand,  and  say  that  they  were  the  result 
of  any  moral  obli(|uity.  He  was  kind,  benevolent,  and  forbearing 
in  an  eminent  degri'c  with  those  who  were  de])endent  on  him. 
He  had  great  faith  in  mankind  ;  he  was  never  heard,  with  all  his 
hard  experience  in  life,  to  mil  at  our  race.  He  had  acquired  a 
great  knowledge  of  mankind,  .and  did  not  lose  his  res])ect  for 
them  by  an  extensive  intei'course.  He  always  took  a  dee])  inter- 
est in  the  municipal  affairs  of  the  town,  and  was  a  leading  actor 
in  the  same.  He  was  moderator  for  seventeen  years,  beginning 
in  17i)4  and  ending  in  IS"J!).  He  may  justly  be  considered  the 
founder  of  the  village  of  Peterborough,  N.  H.,  where  not  one 
single  object  exists  to  per])etuate  his  n.ame.

"  Kor  the  followini;  interestinu"  account  of  the  family  of  .Mr.  Mor- 
isoii,  r  am  indebted  to  Kev.  .lohn  II.  Morisoii,  d.  d.,  one  of  the 
sons."      From  this  account  I  take  the  f(dlo\vinji  sketch. 

*'Mv  father,  Niithaniel  Morison,  was  the  only  one  of  my  i^rand- 
father  s  children  who  had  more  than  ordinary  ability.  Kzekiel, 
his  younirest  son,  was  a  man  of  correct  and  industrious  habits. 
lie  died  younjj;  in  .Mississippi.  Nathaniel  was  born  Oct.  11,  1770. 
In  18(12,  he  went  with  an  invoice  of  chairs  to  some  ]ilaee  in  the 
AVest  Indies;  but  Hndinu'  no  market  for  them  theri',  he  took 
them  to  Wihniiiejton,  N.  C.  After  disposinu'  of  them  he  went  to 
Fayetteville,  in  the  same  State,  and  entered  into  the  business  of 
makinu'  carriag'es.  In  1S(I4,  he  came  to  New  Knuland,  and 
nnn-i'ied  .Mary-Ann  Hopkins,  who  was  boi'u  in  that  part  of  Lon- 
donderry which  is  now  Windham,  and  returned  to  his  business  in 
Fayetteville,  with  his  wife,  where  he  remained  till  1S(I7.  Then, 
at  the  urtjent  solicitation  of  his  father,  he  came  back  to  Peter- 
boroutfh,  and  settled  down  with  his  wife  and  daughter,  having 
bouiiht  his  father's  farm.  Jle  brought  with  him  $;'),(!()(•  in  specie, 
and  there  were  still  considerable  sums  of  Tuonoy  due  to  him  at 
the  South.  In  five  years  he  had  laid  u]t  between  si.\  and  seven 
thousand  dollars.  He  was  not  fitted  to  be  a  farmer.  The  success 
of  a  more  extended  enterprise,  and  the  habits  formed  in  a  difl'er- 
ent  sphere,  made  him  restless  under  its  slow  and  limited  opera- 
tions. In  1811,  I  believe,  he  returned  to  P'ayetteville,  to  settle 
up  his  affairs  there.  .  .  .  Three  or  four   years  more  passed  by, 

♦  She  was  the  graniklaujihter  of  John  Hopkins  and  Elizabeth  Diiismoor, 
the  dauglitcr  of  John  Dinsmoor  (known  as  "  Daddy  "  Dinsmoor,  of  Wind- 
ham), the  emigrant  ancestor  of  all  the  persons  of  tliat  name  in  London- 
derry and  Wiudham,  and  who  settled  in  Londonderry,  N.  H.,  previous 
to  1730.

u|)on  his  hands  all  that  he  could  attend  to. 

"But  he  had  chosen  an  unfortunate  time  for  these  investments. 
The  war  with  Kn^dand  was  soon  over.  The  country  was  Hooded 
with  foreign  ujoods.  There  was  no  side  for  our  domestic  products. 
The  factories  were  closed.  His  little  competence  melted  .aw.'iy. 
He  was  emharrassed  with  del>ts.  liis  farm  and  factory  property 
were  heavily  inortu'.'iLred.  For  all  industrial  enterprises,  the  term 
from  isj,')  to  1  S"JO  was  a  |ieriod  of  irreater  (h'pression  than  any 
other  jieriod  of  live  years  during;  the  present  century.  jVfter 
strnniiliny  in  vain  with  adverse  events,  and  with  embarrassments 
which  were  constantly  increasinti\  he  went  to  Mississipjii,  in  the 
fall  of  IS17,  to  collect  a  consider.alile  debt  that  was  ilue  him  there, 
lie  carrie(l  out  with  him  :i  few  cases  of  axes  and  shoes,  which  he 
disposed  of  at  .a  y;ood  profit.  He  collected  his  (h'ltl  so  as  to  reach 
home  in  the  sprint,'  of   ISIS. 

"While  he  was  at  Natchez,  he  became  ac(jnainted  with  several 
fjentlemen  of  larye  fortunes,  and  made  a  contract  with  them  to 
sujtjily  the  city  with  water  by  ine.ans  of  lead  l>ipes,  for  !f!;{(),0(HI. 
On  reachiuii"  home,  he  enu'aii'ed  a  competent  man  in  New  Hamp- 
shire to  lay  tlu'  pipes,  and  in  the  iuitunm  of  1S18,  he  went  out 
with  a  lar<ijer  supply  of  .axes,  plows,  and  shoes.  But  the  boat 
which  carried  a  part  of  his  merchandise  struck  a  snai;  and  sunk 
in  the  Mississippi,  and  when  he  reached  N.atchez,  and  had  made 
.all  his  arranifements,  and  <;ot  his  men  and  materials  there  to  sup- 
j»ly  the  city  with  water,  the  Southern  irentkMnen  re])udiated  the 
oontr.act  which  he  sup]>osed  they  had  ni.ade,  and  the  whole  enter- 
prise, with  conseciuences  ruinous  to  all  his  hopes,  was  thrown 
b.ack  u|)on  him.  He  had  recourse  .'ly'.ain  to  his  old  oecu])ation, 
.and  endeavored  to  jjcain  a  little  inoney  by  working  as  a  wheel- 
Avright  and  carriage-maker.  l>ut  disappointment,  anxiety,  and 
the  hot,  malarious  summer  climate  there  were  too  much  for 
him.  He  was  taken  down  with  the  yellow  fever,  and  after  a  few 
days  of  severe  suffering,  in  wdiich  he  was  carefully  attended  by 
his  brother  P]zekiel,  and  his  townsman,  John  Seott,  .Jr.,  he  died 
on  the  eleventh  day  of  September,  1811),  just  before  he  had  com- 
pleted his  fortieth  year.  Rumors  of  his  death  had  already  reached 
us,  when,  on  a  cold,  cloudy  November  Saturday  afternoon,  I,  then 
a  boy  of  eleven,  walked  to  the  village  to  see  if  any  letter  had  come 
by  the  mail.  On  entering  your  father's  (Samuel  Smith's)  store 
just  before  dark,  I  heard  the  i)eo)>le  talking  of  the  report,  and,  as

on  leavinjjf  our  early  Inmie,  where  all  her  children  hut  one  had 
heen  horn,  she  looked  liack  upon  it,  with  a  liahy  on  each  arm, 
and  then  turned  slowly  aw.'iy  towards  her  new  home.  She  had 
heen  left  .-done  in  the  fall  of  l>il.S  with  seven  children,  the  oldest 
thirteen  yeai's,  .•ind  the  two  younLTcst  four  mouths.  .Ml  hei' meMn> 
of  support  consisted  in  a  hah'-linished  house,  two  cows,  and  four  or 
five  hundred  dollars.  She  had  a  most  delicate,  sensitive  nature,  l»ul 
a  force  of  will  ami  :imount  of  executive  enei'j^y  such  as  I  have 
lu'vi'r  si'cn  surpassed.  In  my  rememhrance  of  her,  as  she  was 
durint;  the  early  period  of  her  widowhood,  1  always  think  of  her 
sittiuii'  ;it  her  loom,  workinix  .•mil  weepin;^.  She  did  not  stop  to 
indidp'  in  discoura<j;inn'  a|)prehensions,  IfUt  enijihasized  her  j^rief 
hydriviny-  her  shuttle  with  increased  promptness  and  vehenu'nce. 
With  a  resolution  that  almost  hroke  her  heart,  she  jiut  her  two 
oldest  hoys,  one  eleven  iuid  the  other  tune  ye.ars  old,  into  f.irmers' 
families  to  work  for  their  livini;.  Lessons  of  hoimst  industry  .and

they  may  have  attained.  The  heaviest  hurden  rested  upon  our 
oldest  sister,  whose  ability  ami  willinjjjiu'ss  to  help  .all  the  rest, 
shut  lu'r  out  from  the  advanta<>es  of  education  which  the  others

whicli  his  sons  enjoyed,  I  have  no  doubt  tliat  lie  would  have  been 
one  of  the  most  dis'tinguished  among  all  the  natives  of  Peterbor- 
ough. As  it  was,  his  lot  was  a  very  hard  one,  and  his  life  very 
sad.  lie  was  a  man  of  delieate  sensibilities  and  generous  im- 
pulses, lie  was  fitted  for  intt'lleetual  ])ursuits,  and  would  have 
madi'  an  admirable  lawyer.  But  he  had  no  speeial  aptness  for 
meehanical  employments  or  for  trade.  Ills  thoughts  moved  in  a 
different  sphere.  T  have  heard  his  soeial  and  eonversational 
qualities  very  highly  spoki-n  of.  But  he  had  no  spceial  aptitude 
or  taste  for  the  sort  of  life  that  was  put  upon  him.  After  the 
suecess  of  his  early  days,  wliieli  certainly  iiulicated  no  common 
abilitv  even  in  uucongi'uial  pursuits,  he  failed  in  almost  every- 
thing  that  he  undertook.  His  plan  for  nitrodueing  improved 
methods  of  manufacturing  linen  cloth  showed  originality  of  mind 
and  no  lack  of  judgment.  \or  could  any  one,  situated  as  he  was, 
be  likely  to  anticipate  the  disastro\is  effects  of  peace  on  our 
domestic  industries.  And  no  honorable  man  would  suspect  tlio 
arbitrary  re|nuliation  of  a  contract  like  that  he  had  made  in 
Xatehez.  But  the  disaitpoiutment  was  not,  on  that  account,  any 
the  less  severe  to  him.     He  became  disheartened  and  unhap|)y. 

"My  mother's  father,  John  Ilo]ikins,  of  Windham,  X.  11..  was  a 
farmer,  lie  was  a  m:in  of  an  easy,  hajtpy  temperanu'iit,  who,  it  was 
said,  would  sit  at  work  on  his  shoemaker's  beiu-h  in  winter  and 
sing  Scotch  songs  all  day  long,  without  repeating  ;i  singK-  song. 
His  wife,  however,  Isabel!"  Keid,  was  of  a  very  differen*  temjier- 
anient,  and  belonged  to  a  family  of  veiy  marked  and  ])o\v  'rful 
characteristics.  She  was  a  woman  of  strong  convictions,  and  of 
great  energy  of  mind  and  body.  She,  like  her  daughter  Mary- 
Ann,  could  do  two  or  three  days'  work  in  one,  and  had  no  ]iatience 
with  the  idleness  or  inetHciency  of  oth.-r  jn'oplc.  She  probably  did 
for  the  Ifopkinses  what  ^largaret  Wallace  had  done  for  the  .Mor- 
isons  three  genei'ations  before,  and  introduced  into  th'  race  a 
much  more  energetic  type  of  character.  She  lived  to  a  great  age, 
with  her  son  James  Hopkins,  in  Antrim,  X.  IT.  .  .  .  Not  long 
before  her  death,  I  saw  her  in  Antrim:  she  was  very  fci'blc  and 
very  kind,  .lust  before  1  left  her,  she  unlocked  a  jirivate  dr.'iwer 
and  took  from  it  two  silver  half-dollars  which  she  asked  me  to  give 
to  my  mother.  I  was  greatly  affected  by  her  kindness,  for  it  was 
probably  nearly  all  the  moiu'v  that  she  had. 

"Here  is  a  slight  sketch  of  those  who  have  gone  before  us, 
and  whose  lives  are  transmitted  through  our  veins  to  those  who 
shall  come  after  us.  I  believe  in  iidu'rited  ([ualities;  but  it  is 
ditHcult  to  reconcile  with  this  belief  the  very  different  (|u:tlities 
of  those  who  iidierit  the  same  blood.  .  .  .  We  sometimes  seem  to 
recognize  different  ancestors  in  our  different  moods  and  fi'diny's 
at  different  times.  When  I  am  indulging  in  the  thought  of 
projects  vastly  bej'ond  my  ability  to  carry  out,  I  feel  my  great- 
great-grandmother,  the  ambitious  Margaret  Wallace,  stirring  my 
blood,  and  call  to  mind  my  grandfather's  caution  to  his  son  to 
remember  that  his  name  was  Morison,  and  not  undertake  more

than  he  could  <h».  "NVhoii  I  feel  very  niiicli  fixed  in  any  decision, 
and  unwilling  to  be  reasoned  out  of  it,  right  or  wrong,  I  feel 
Boniething  of  the  Holmes  obstinacy  rising  up  within  my  veins. 
When  I  urn  in  iui  easy,  indolent  mood,  and  disposed  to  let  the 
day  go  by  without  I'ffort,  in  ])leasant  dreains,  T  think  of  my  grand- 
father Hopkins,  whose  name  I  bear,  and  his  Scotch  songs.  If  I 
ever  succeed  in  stripping  off  its  surroundings,  and  looking  calmly 
and  clearly  into  a  ditiicult  and  important  subject,  without  J>reju- 
dice  on  either  side,  I  rejoice  to  feel  that  I  have  in  me  something 
of  the  mild,  unbiassed  good  sense  of  the  Smiths,  as  they  were 
before  they  were  united  with  the  ^[orisons.  In  this  way  1  lead 
different  lives,  and  feel  myself  swayed  by  widely  different  iin- 
jtulses,  and  brought  under  the  intluence  of  different  ancestors, 
according  to  tiie  mood  that  happens  to  be  uppermost.  Some- 
times I  feel  as  if  I  were  my  father,  looking  out  from  his  eyes  and 
walking  in  his  gai<^  •  and  then  I  detect  the  mother  in  the  earnest- 
ness with  whicli  1  liiul  myself  gazing  on  some  ])erson  bef(tre  me, 
as  your  uncle,  Judgx'  Jeremiah  Smitii,  seemed  to  see  his  sister 
IJetty  when  he  i)ut  on  her  cap  and  looked  at  himself  in  the  glass."

of  Franklin,  N.  II.  '-After  spending  some  live  years  in  business 
in  New  York,  he  formed  a  co))artnership  with  his  brother,  Wil- 
liam-H.  Snuth,  and  their  brother-in-law,  John  Cavender,  under 
the  tirni-name  of  Smith  Brothers  &  Co.,  and  commenced  business 
in  St.  Louis,  ^lay,  1833,  which  was  successful  under  his  untiring 
energy  .and  cautious,  prudent  management,  till  the  'big  fire  of 
1849,'  when  the  old  firm  dissolved,  showing  a  prosjierous  business 
in  spite  of  losses  by  the  disastrous  lire.  In  1851,  a  new  copart- 
nership was  formed,  in  which  George  Partridge  was  associated 
with  James  and  William-H,  Smith,  under  the  style  of  Partridge 
&  Co.,  the  Smiths  only  to  render  such  service  in  the  business  as 
suited  their  inclinations.  It  is  but  justice  to  sav  that  the  con- 
tinned  prosperity  of  the  new  li  i  was  cpiite  as  much  due  to  the 
cautious,  prudent  counsel  and  management  of  James  STuith  as 
was  that  of  the  old  com])any.  The  Smiths  withdrew  from  this 
coj)artnership  in  1803.  James  Smith,  after  an  unrenutting  ser- 
vice of  more  than  thirty  years,  retired  to  wisely  consider  how  he 
could  best  discharge  the  'trust  of  a  beneficent  Providence,'  in 
the  disposition  of  his  earnings  and  savings.  He  chose  the  sensi- 
ble phui  of  becoming  his  own  executor,  and  the  Washington 
University  and  kindred  institutions  of  the  city  of  his  ado])tion 
bear  am])le  testimony  to  the  wisdom  or  folly  of  his  ex.'unple."*

('.•irly  htV  was  s|>('nt  on  liis  tathi-r's  farm,  and  liis  spare  time  was 
oniployi'd  in  niakiiii,'  hricks.  He  loved  tlie  water,  and  for  seven 
successive  scisons,  in  tlie  sprint;  ot'  tlie  year,  he  followed  cod- 
fishing  in  hoats  in  the  JJasin  of  Mine.s  and  idong  the  I'arrshoro' 
.shore.  In  llS'21)  he  eiig.'iged  in  ntackerel-tishing  at  tin  month  of 
the  I):iy  of  Fnndy.  In  ls;5(l  he  went  to  sea,  and  ))eing  a  good 
navigatt>r,  soon  bei'anie  master  of  a  vessel,  and  sjient  his  suinmerH 
on  tlie  water  for  manyyear.s,  till  he  was  married,  wlien  he  l)ought 
a  small  jiroperty  in  T.onthmderry,  N.  S,  At  this  time  he  wuh 
chos  Ml  as  arbitrator  on  disputed  (|neBtions. 

In  1S40  he  and  a  cousin  built  a  schooner,  which  lie  sailed 
for  ten  year.s,  trading  between  Nova  Scoti:i,  Xew  Hninswiek,  and 
ports  of  tlu'  United  St;iti's.  While  in  parliament  in  ls.")'.>,  this 
vessel  w;is  lost  in  tlu'  ice  through  the  carelessness  of  a  subaltern. 
There  was  no  insura;ice  on  her,  and  the  loss  was  a  heavy  blow  to 
him.  From  is;i()  to  ISdit,  he  was  often  engaged  in  rigtiiiig  new 
vessels.  He  was  very  minute  and  exjict  in  his  cilculations,  seldom 
making  mistakes.  He  never  recpiired  iigiires  befor«>  him  for  ordi- 
nary Imsiness  transactions,  as  calciil.itioiis  were  carried  on  accu- 
rately and  (piickly  in  his  mind.  He  is  a  massive  man,  inieiiectu- 
ally  and  physically.  He  possesses  astuteness  of  miinl,  keenness 
of  |)erceptioii,  a  strong  musical  voice,  and  is  an  orator  of  no  mean 
order.  His  ])owers  of  iniit;iti(>n  are  great,  and  in  his  bovhood  it 
is  said  that  he  could  imitate  the  voice  of  m;ui,  beast,  or  bird  so  as 
to  deceive  tlie  keenest  listener.  From  lSi")0  to  IS;');!  he  w;i,s  jironi- 
ineiu  in  maiiiigenient  of  ;it'fairs  of  the  church  ami  tl:e  town.  In 
IS.");")  he  w;is  elected  member  of  the  parliament  of  Nova  Scotia 
from  the  north  district  of  Colchester  County.  In  ISoD  he  wan 
again  elected.  In  1S().'>  he  was  a))pointe(l  immigration  agent  for 
Nova  Scotia,  also  surveyor  (;f  shipping  for  the  ))ort  of  London- 
derry. The  latter  jiosition  he  still  holds.  His  friends  losing  con- 
trol of  the  Government,  he  was  dismissed  as  immigration  agent. 
He  was  again  elected  to  i)arlianient  in  1807  and  in  ISTl.  In  1873, 
both  jtarties  desired  him  to  be  a  candidate  for  the  Dominion  jiar- 
iiament.  He  refused,  being  decidedly  o))))osed  to  the  financial 
arrangement  made  for  Nova  Scotia,  when  she  was  forced  into  the 
Dominion  against  the  wishes  of  her  peoi)le.  In  1874,  he  was 
again  a  candidate  for  ))arlianient,  but  was  defeated.  In  187G  he 
was  a])poiiited  to  the  legislative  council,  which  seat  he  holds  dur- 
ing life  or  good  behavior.  He  was  fifteen  years  in  ])arliament. 
He  introduced  and  carried  through  the  bill  for  voting  by  ballot. 
In  1804  he  was  one  of  seven  who  revised  the  provincial  statutes.

I  iv'tnaiiiod  .'it  lioiiic  till  April  ir>,  IH'20.  At  the  ntjc  of  tlircc,  I

oiil  my  scrviot'S  oti  tlic  farm  were  tlioiij^lit  too  valiiiiltic  to  lie  <liM- 
pi'iisi'd  with,  ami  from  that  time  t'orlli  till  I  was  sixteen  I  went,  to 
Hehool  only  in  the  vviiiter,  from  ei^^ht  to  twelve  weeks  in  a  year. 
In  the  aiitiimn  of  IHIK,  my  father  died,  and  his  family  was  left  in 
!»nMit  alHietion  and  in  very  straitened  eireiiinstaiit'es.  From  1S"J() 
to  IS'Jl,  I  lived  with  different  farmers  in  the  town,  worUiiiL;  hard, 
farinLj  as  well  as  they  did,  and  reeeivini^  Init  scanty  waives,  never, 
F  think,  more  than  iifty  dollars  a  year,  even  when  I  diil  nearly  a 
mairs  work.  I  look  h.ick  n|ion  those  four  ye.ars  as  the  most 
iinh:i|i|)y  period  of  my  life,  'i'he  chaiiLie  from  our  own  home  to 
H  place  with  stranu;eis  was  a  painful  one,  not  liecause  I  wiis  treated 
unkindly,  hut  from  a  fei'Iint;  that  I  was  fatherless  and  homeless, 
and  from  a  loiiLCiiiL;  f<»r  a  better  comp.'inionship  and  better  me.'ins 
of  education.  My  princii)al  solace  was  to  spend  the  Sunday, 
once  in  a  month  or  two,  at  my  mother's  house.  Myj^reati'st  hap- 
piness,  intellectually,  was  in  readini;,  often  by  fire-liiu;ht,  with  my 
head  in  ii  pt'i'iloiisly  hot  place,  'i'he  liooks  I  enjoyed  most  were 
the  Hible,  IvolliiTs  Ancient  History,  (iiliboiTs  Koine,  and  an  odd 
volume  or  two  of  dosephus. 

'•In  October,  1S-J4,  I  went  to  Kxeter,  N.  II.  Mefore  le.ivini,' 
Peterborough,  I  had  for  six  weeks  attended  a  priv.ate  school  kept 
by  Mr.  Addison  lirown,  then  a  studi'iit  in  H.arv.ard  Colletjje.  lie 
h;id  very  rare  ijifts  as  a  teacher.  I  felt  that  my  intellectual  nature 
was  then  ft>r  the  lirst  time  w.aked  up,  and  life  assumed  for  me  a

strength  of  mind,  in  :iccuracy  and  extent  of  le.arning,  and  the 
higher  qualities  of  his  character,  was  fitted  to  take,  as  he  did,  an 
honorable  pl.'ice  among  the  ablest  of  our  distinguislied  men.  In 
August,  1828,  he  invited  me  to  become  a  member  of  his  f.amily,

little  less  than  a  year  aid  a  half.  I  eariie(l  what  little  I  could, 
and  )ira<'tised  a  pretty  se\"re  economy.  My  exjieiises  were  small, 
and  Judge  Smith  had  geiiei  aisly  and  very  judiciously  so  ;irr:inge(l 
matters,  ihat  I  never  felt  any  great  imxiety  in  regard  to  my  im- 
mediate wants.  I  hegaii  lifev.i;!.  nothing.  I  never  have  askeil 
pei'uniary  assistam  for  myself.  And  y«'t  I  have  never  been 
unal»le  to  meet  my  engagements.  Sometimes  1  could  not  see  a 
month  heforehand  how  the  ine.'iiis  could  lie  procured,  hut  they 
alw.'iys  came,  and  sometimes  from  the  most  unexpected  sources. 

"On  graduating  in  l>;n,  !  concluded  to  study  law,  having  I'li- 
gaged  to  pursue  my  stiidii's  with  a  very  learned  lawyer  of  JJalti- 
niore,  and  to  inei't  my  expensi's  l)y  instructing  his  children.  On 
account  of  this  engagement  I  di-clined  several  advantageous  offers 
of  employment  as  a  teacher.  After  waiting  sever.'i!  weeks,  when 
tlie  tiiiu'  for  such  offers  had  passed  l>y,  the  geiitli'iiian  sent  me 
wonl  that  he  had  engaged  another  young  man,  and  would  not 
ne"d  my  services,  'i'his  was  a  very  great  disapjioiiitinent  to  me. 
It  left  me  without  occupation  and  without  means  of  sui)port,  l»ut 
it  taught  me  a  lesson  as  to  the  sacredness  of  engagements  that  has 
always  been  of  service  to  me.  I  remained  in  Cambridge  through 
the  fall  and  winter,  teaching  a  few  ))U))ils,  and  attending  some  of 
tlie  lectures  of  the  divinity  school.  At  that  time  I  l)ecame  ac- 
quainted with  Henry  Ware,  Jr.,  and  his  wife,  and  had  a  room  in 
tlieir  house.  In  a  social  and  religious  i)oint  of  view,  that  season 
was  a  very  ])rotitable  one  to  me.  It  gave  me  time  to  reconsider 
my  choice  of  a  profession,  and  enabled  me  to  ai>proach  the  sub- 
ject with  dit'fi'rent  feelings  and  a  better  understanding.

till'  first  tiinc  a  man  amoiitf  mt'u.  I  liad  leisure  for  study,  and 
devoted  myself  to  it  with  the  utmost  intensity  ami  enthusiasm. 
I  read  Cicero's  |)liil(iso|ihic:il  writings,  Cousin,  Pascal,  Madame  de 
Stael,  Dante,  sonie  of  the  old  English  prose-writers,  Wordsworth, 
and  iihove  all  in  its  influence  on  my  mind,  Ct)leridge,  esjiecially 
his  Friend  and  lji()graj>hia  Literaria.  In  the  winter  I  gave  a 
course  of  seven  lectures  on  literary  subjects  to  a  very  intelligent 
audience  of  perhaps  a  hundred  persons.  This  was  a  new  and 
exciting  experience.  It  n.ade  me  feel  the  responsihility  of  acting 
on  the  minds  of  others,  lint  I  had  overworked  during  the  win- 
ter, and  from  the  middle  of  March  till  the  last  of  August,  18;{;}, 
spent  most  of  the  time  in  I'l'terltorough,  in  a  state  of  physical 
exhaustion  which  I  did  not  understand.  Among  the  great  advan- 
tages which  I  enjoyed  in  New  Bedford,  especially  in  the  society 
of  very  intelligent  people,  that  which  I  valued  above  all  the  rest 
was  the  privilege  of  hearing  Dr.  Dewey  preach.  It  was  the 
most  (luickening  and  uplifting  preaching  that  I  have  ever  heard, 
and  of  itself  jnade  an  epoch  in  my  life. 

"At  the  beginning  of  the  academical  year  1833,  I  joined  the 
middle  class  at  the  Cambridge  Divinity  School,  which  was  then 
under  the  able  and  conscientious  charge  of  ,Iohn-Corham  Palfrev 
and  the  Jlenry  Wares,  father  and  son.  There  was  an  extraordi- 
nary vitality  and  and  enthusiasm  in  the  school  at  that  time, 
especially  in  regard  to  philanthropical  movements.  I  entered 
very  heartily  into  these  subjects,  and  took  an  earnest  part  in  the 
preparation  of  elaborate  papers  and  in  the  debates.  Both  my 
moral  convictions  and  my  ]ihilosoj)hy  went  much  deeper,  and 
looked  to  a  much  more  thorough  and  radical  reform  than  was 
usually  conteujplated  in  the  social  movements  of  the  day.  I  was 
perhaps  considered  too  conservative,  because  1  was  Uu)  radical  to 
be  satisfied  with  the  superficial  measures  that  were  sugtrested  by 
the  most  zealous  reformers.  The  labor  (piestion,  which  is  just 
bcLrinuin''  to  <:i-<l  its  portentous  shadows  before  it  nt»w,  was  one 
on  which  I  prejiared  are|)ort  that  cost  a  vast  amount  of  labor,  and 
which  came  to  conclusions  that  are  nov  begiimiiig  to  engage  the 
attention  of  thoughtful  men.  During  a  temporary  vacancy  in 
the  department,  I  taught  ])olitical  economy  to  the  senior  ela.ss  of 
undergraduates,  and  rea<l  nearly  everything  that  had  then  been 
published  on  that  great  but  still  incomplete  science.  I  prepared 
two  lectures  for  the  Exeter  Lyceum,  and  did  not  slight  my 
studies  in  the  Divinity  School.  In  this  way  I  overtasked  mv 
|)hysical  powers.  In  .May,  1834, 1  had  a  slight  attack  of  typhoid 
fever,  with  a  determination  of  blood  to  the  head.  After  two  or 
three  weeks,  I  went  to  my  mother's  in  Peterborough.  But  the 
disease  did  not  leave  me.  I  spent  nearly  a  year  in  a  dark  room, 
unable  to  sit  up,  or  to  bear  the  presence  of  even  a  near  friend. 
A  strong  constitution  was  seriously  broken.  For  thirty  years 
afterwards  I  was  not  able  to  do  more  than  one  third  the  amount 
of  mental  labor  which  had  once  been  a  healthful  and  happy  exer- 
cise.    This  was  a  constantly  recurring  grief  and  disapjiointment.

"For  five  years  I  was  able  to  do  very  little  hard  work.  I 
preached  but  seldom,  and  was  not  a  candidate  for  settlement  as 
a  minister.  I  sui)))orted  myself  as  a  private  teacher  in  New  Bed- 
ford, and  was  very  ha]»))y  ia  the  home  that  was  open  to  me.  In 
May,  1838,  I  was  settled  as  associate  pastor,  with  Rev.  Ejthraim 
Peabody,  over  the  First  Congregational  ^Society  in  !New  Bed- 
ford. My  relation  to  him  and  to  the  society  was  a  liaj>j)y  one.  I 
could  not  have  been  associated  with  a  l>etter  man.  lie  had  a  lofty 
ideal  of  intellectual,  moral,  and  religious  culture.  He  was  of  a  most 
generous  and  guileless  n^*'vi.,  and  was  as  much  interested  in  my 
success  as  in  his  own.  The  five  years  of  my  Xew  Bedford  min- 
istry were  years  of  great  enjoyment  and  improvement.  During 
that  time,  in  October,  1841,  I  was  married  to  Miss  Emily-Hurd 
llogers,  of  Salem  ;  and  in  December  of  the  following  year,  my 
eldest  son,  George-S.  Morrison,  was  born. 

''In  S.'i)tember,  1848,  I  gave  uj)  my  salary,  and  asked  leave  of 
ibsenc"  for  an  indefinite  time.  This  I  did  partly  because  Mr. 
Peabocly's  health  was  then  such  as  to  enable  him  to  go  on  Avith 
his  work  alone,  and  partly  in  the  hope  that  change  of  scene  and 
entire  freedom  from  jirofessional  care  for  a  year  or  two  might 
re-establish  my  own  health.  During  this  vacation  I  jtrejiared  the 
life  of  my  early  benefactor  and  kinsman,  Jeremiah  Smith.  In 
the  autumn  of  1845,  I  resigned  my  office  in  Xew  Bedford,  and 
in  January,  1846,  became  the  ])astor  of  the  First  Congregational 
Parish  in  Milton,  ]\Iass.,  where  I  have  continued  to  this  day.  The 
society  is  snail;  the  duties  of  the  place  have  not  been  opjiressive; 
the  people  have  been  very  indulgent.  Among  them  I  have  found 
men  and  women  whom  it  has  been  a  great  joy  and  jirivilege  to 
know  as  friends.  I  could  ask  for  no  higher  or  more  exciting 
enij)loynn.:<t  than  to  do  everything  in  my  ))ower  for  their  instruc- 
tion and  imju'ovement.  If  there  has  been  little  to  feed  any  lower 
ambition,  there  has  been  a  great  deal  to  cherish  the  best  affections. 
The  highest  thought  that  I  have  been  able  to  reach  has  ahvavs 
found  a  hospitable  welcome.  My  one  aim  in  life  has  been  to  prove 
myself  in  all  things  a  faithful  minister  of  Christ ;  and  even  in  the 
apparently  narrow  sjihere  in  which  my  lot  has  been  cast,  I  have 
found  abundant  opjxntunity  for  the  exercise  of  all  my  faculties. 
I  have  written  and  jtublished  a  commentary  on  the  Gospel  of  St. 
Matthew,  and  had  hoped  to  extend  the  work  so  as  to  include  the 
other  evangelists.  At  different  times  I  have  edited  the  Christian 
Register  and  the  Religious  Magazine  or  Unitarian  Review.  But 
the  work  of  an  editor  was  never  to  iiiy  taste.  The  pul])it,  the 
jtarochial  labors,  and  above  all,  the  studies  of  a  Christian  minister, 
have  had  for  me  greater  attractions  than  any  other  office  or  calling. 
They  have  been  to  me  always  a  sufficient  stimulus  and  reward. 
When  drawn  away  from  them  by  failing  health,  it  has  l)een  an 
imspeakable  hajtpiness  to  come  back  to  them  again. 

"In  1870  I  asked  for  a  colleague,  that  I  might  be  able  to  com- 
plete my  work  on  the  Gospels.     But  other  duties  jirovidentially

put  upon  me  tilled  up  my  time.  After  nearly  three  years  of 
faithful  and  intelligent  labor  in  his  ])rofes8ion,  my  dear  friend  and 
associate,  Francis-Tutiker  Wasiiburn,  whose  short  ministrj  had 
revealed  to  me  rare  (|ualities  of  miiul  and  heart,  was  taken  from  us; 
and  with  a  sense  of  bereavement  and  loss  I  aijain  took  up  the  work 
which  had  fallen  from  his  hands.  I  never  engaged  in  my  profes- 
sion with  a  deeper  sense  of  personal  responsibility,  or  entered 
with  a  nu)re  living  interest  or  a  keener  sense  of  enjoyment  into 
the  great  and  soji'inii  scenes  which  it  presents.  But  I  have 
reached  an  age  when  su(  h  a  strain  upon  the  faculties  cannot 
long  be  continued  witli  sat'ety.  I  have  therefore  again  asked  to 
be  relieved  from  my  parish  duties;  and  as  the  oidy  effectual  way 
of  accom})lishing  tiiis,  I  am  now  s|)ending  a  year  in  Kuro))e. 

''My  life  has  l»een  marked  by  few  events  of  any  special  interest. 
I  have  sluiink  from  prominent  |>ositions,  and  have  been  happy  in 
the  secluded  labors  of  my  profession,  in  the  means  of  usefulness 
which  it  has  given,  in  the  literary  studi-^s  and  juirsuits  which  are 
closely  connected  with  it,  and  in  the  ultimate  and  lasting  friend- 
ships it  has  helped  me  to  form  with  some  of  the  best  |teof»le  in 
the  world.  I  hope  still  to  live  among  the  ))eo])le  with  whom  I 
have  lived,  giving  and  receiving  such  services  as  lie  M'ithin  our 
riich  to  smooth  the  pathwa;,  of  life,  and  enable  us  to  look  for- 
ward with  a  stronger  faith  an<l  a  more  fitting  preparation  for 
what  lies  beyond.  With  every  new  year  I  have  had  a  richer 
experienci'  of  God's  goodness  and  of  his  universal  care,  and  it 
would  iiulicate  no  small  degree  of  intellectual  and  moral  obtuse- 
ness  as  well  as  ingratitude,  if  I  had  any  fears  for  what  is  to  come. 
I  am  not  without  hope  tliat  I  may  yet  ])repare  a  small  work  on 
the  study  of  the  (rospeU.,  better  than  anything  I  have  yet  done. 
Most  of  it  is  in  my  mil  d,  the  result  of  many  years  of  thought 
and  study.  It  is  very  jjle.'.sant  t<.,  think  of  the  occupation  which 
it  may  give,  and  thus  to  indulge  the  desir<>,  perhaps  more  than  the 
hope,  to  be  still  of  sonu'  service  to  my  fellow-men.  All  my  studies 
and  all  my  experience  go  to  strengthen  my  faith  in  the  sul)stantial 
truthfulness  of  the  Gospel  nar 'ative,  and  in  the  unspeakable  value 
of  the  life  and  the  truth  that  tre  revealed  in  them. 

"I  have  had  many  disajipointments.  But  as  I  look  back,  the 
predominant  feeling  in  my  miml  is  one  of  thankfuln.\ss.  My  life 
has  been  full  of  satisfactions  and  vujoyment.  I  have  not  attained 
to  heiglits  I  had  once  hoped  to  reach  in  intellectual  or  spiritual 
culture.  But  in  many  ways  life  has  been  a  rich  and  beneficent 
gift,  es])ecially  in  my  home,  which  has  had  its  trials  and  shadows; 
but  no  heart-rending  grief  has  ever  entered  it.  My  children,  two 
sons  and  a  daughter,  and  my  wife,  have  been  spared  thus  far,  so 
that  I  close  this  brief  outline  with  devout  gratitude  and  priuse." 

Jle  still  holds  (1870)  the  office  of  senior  pastor  of  the  First 
Congregational  (Ifnitarian)  Society,  in  Milton,  Mass.;  but  on 
account  of  tln^  health  of  his  family,  he  moved  into  Boston,  in 
October,  1877,  where  he  still  resides,  spending  the  sunnner 
months  in   Peterborough,  N.   If.

''From  coUcgt'  he  went  directly  to  Baltimore,  where  he  had 
been  appointed  an  instruct(jr  in  mathematics  in  the  University  of 
Maryland,  which,  with  the  charter  of  a  college,  was  in  reality 
oidy  a  superior  high  school.  The  next  year,  l>i'-)H,  he  was  ap- 
pointed professor  of  mathematics  in  the  same  institution.  He 
held  this  professorship  till  duly,  ls41,  when  he  was  chosen

niece  of  Xathan  L(M-d,  late  president  of  Dartmouth  College. 

"In  18a(),  after  a  rest  of  two  years  on  Ids  farm,  he  returned  to

in  Peterborough,  in  18(51),  where  for  a  time  he  seemed  to  improve, 
and  where  he  died,  August  Ti,  187(',  aged  ;')",)  yrs.  11  mos.  JMr. 
INIorison  was  an  excellent  scliolar,  especially  in  mathematics;  and 
In  liad  ;i,  great  fomlness  for  the  natural  sciences,  which  he  taught 
unr.sually  well.  Few  teachers  ever  s\irpassed  him  in  easy,  lucitl, 
and  familiar  explanations  of  natural  phenomena.  Like  all  good 
teachers,  he  had  an  analytical  min  1 ;  and  the  boy  must  have  been 
dull  indeed  whom  he  could  not  make  undcistand  the  subjects  or- 
dinarily taught  in  school.  He  wis  ono  (>f  nature's  own  teachers, 
])eculiarly  fitted  to  impart  knowledge  to  the  young,  and  fond  of 
doing  so;  but  the  government  of  a  school  was  always  an  irksome 
task  to  him,  and  this  rendered  him  less  fond  of  his  profession 
than  he  otherwise  would  have  been."

at  Adams  Academy,  in  Derry,  tlien  under  cliarge  of  Charles-C-

sensitive  nature,  was  a  superior  scholar,  and  a  most  succes.sful 
teacher.  Immediately  after  her  marriage,  she  went  to  inhabit  a 
log  cabin  in  the  wilderness  of  Michigan,  where  she  could  find 
none  of  the  luxuries  and  few  of  the  comforts  to  which  she  had 
been  accustomed.  She  bore  the  privations  of  her  lot  with  a 
brave,  uncom|)lainiiig  spirit;  but  the  hard  life  to  which  she  was 
subjected  in  the  new  settlement  was  more  than  her  strength 
could  endure,  and  she  withered  and  died  at  the  early  age  of 
thirty-five,  beloved,  respected,  honored,  and  lamented  by  all  who 
knew  her."

1597.  William-C,  b.  Nov.  1,  1841 ;  was  reared  upon  a  farm;  entered  the 
University  of  Micliigan,  in  18(>0.  Tiie  morninj^  after  the  attack 
on  Fort  Sumter,  lie,  with  200  of  the  students,  tendered  their 
services  to  Governor  Blair,  but  the  offer  was  declined.  He 
enlisted  in  the  1st  Mich.  Infantry.  He  belonjjed  to  the  advance 
f>uard  of  the  rcijt.  under  Colonel  Wilcox,  which  entered  Alex- 
andria, May  24,  1801.  In  the  battle  of  Bull  Run,  when  the 
order  was  j!;iven  to  retreat,  he,  aud  about  fifty  others,  carried 
off  their  wounded  colonel.  Not  being  able  to  escape,  they 
retreated  to  a  piece  of  woods,  and  defended  liim  for  nearly 
three  hours,  till  most  of  their  party  were  killed  or  wounded. 
He  was  wounded  three  times  in  this  engagement,  and  was  left 
among  the  dead  upon  the  field ;  was  taken  prisoner,  and 
remained  in  Libby  Prison  till  Nov.  1801 ;  then  sent  to  Columbia, 
S.  C,  and  returned  to  Libby  in  March,  1802;  paroled  May  15, 
1802,  and  exchanged  Aug.  9.  He  received  a  lieutenant's  com- 
mission in  the  18th  Regt.  Mich.,  Aug.  25,  1802;  assisted  in 
defence  of  Cincinnati ;  assisted  in  building  Fort  Mitchell,  at 
Covington,  Ky. ;  was  on  provost  duty  during  the  winter  of 
1802-03,  at  Lexington,  Ky. ;  was  in  the  battle  of  Danville,  Ky., 
March,  1803,  and  was  on  provost  duty  at  Nashville,  Tcnn.,  from 
May,  1803,  till  May,  1804;  was  oflTered  a  commission  as  licut.- 
col.  in  4th  Tenn.  Regt.,  but  declined.  He  was  in  command 
of  the  18th  Regt.  of  Mich,  in  the  battle  of  Fox  Creek.  In  the 
siege  of  Decatur,  Nov.  1804,  with  40  men,  he  led  a  bayonet 
charge  against  the  rebel  sharp-shooters,  and  captured  114  pris-

]*('tcrl)nr()Uiih,  N.  II.,  Dec  1  i,  iHlf).  When  lie  was  throe  years 
old,  Ills  father  died  snehlcnly  of  yellow  fever,  at  Xatchez,  .Miss. 
He  lived  with  his  mother  till  he  was  ei<flit  ye-.rs  of  age.  The 
succeed iiiLi;  nine  years  of  liis  life  were  spent  on  .i  farm,  in  a  woolen 
mill,  ;md  in  a  m;ichine-sho|i,  though  he  attended  school  regul.irly 
in  the  winter,  (^n  the  1st  of  Jamniry,  18.U,  he  entered  J*hilli|ts 
(Exeter,  N.  11.)  Academy,  where  he  remained  till  August,  18.'>ti, 
when  he  was  admitted  to  the  sopln^nmre  class  at  Harvard  Col- 
lege, having  prepared  for  this  advanced  standing  in  two  years 
and  seven  months.  The  following  sketch  of  his  life  is  taken  from 
that  very  excellent  work,  Dr.  AHtert  Smith's  History  of  Peter- 
horough,  N.  n. 

"As  a  student,  young  Morison  was  oldiged  to  practise  the 
most  rigid  economy  in  all  his  expenses,  —  in  dress,  in  Ijoanl,  in 
hooks,  and  in  travelling,  lie  once  walked  on  the  frozen  ground, 
in  JJecemhcr,  from  Pcterhorough  to  Exett'r,  a  distance  of  sixty 
miles,  tlie  entire  journey  costing  hut  the  two  cents  paid  for  cross- 
ing till'  .Merrimack  ;it  Thornton's  l''erry.  He  carried  a  lunch  in 
his  pocket,  and  spent  the  night  at  the  llev.  -Jacoh  .Ahhot's,  iu 
Windham.  J. ike  most  country  hoys  of  the  period,  he  sought  to 
increase  his  scanty  means  l>y  te;icliinj.  school  in  winter.  He 
began  his  c;ireer  as  ;i  schoolimister  iu  Peterljorough,  during  his 
Sophomore  year.  During  the  next  winter  he  taught  the  village 
school  iu  Grafton,  Mass.,  and  in  18;5S-!)  he  had  charg'  of  the  high 
school  at  Scituati^  Harbor.  His  life  at  school  ami  college  w;is  a 
hib(jrious  one,  but  it  was  extremely  pleasant.  He  was  on  terms 
of  easy  and  agreeable  intercourse  with  all  his  schoolmates  and 
olassimites,  joining  most  of  their  so"ieties  and  soi-ial  gatherings. 
He  w;is  a  member  of  the  Golden  Branch,  at  Kxeter  ;  and  in  col- 
lege he  joined  the  Institute  of  1770,  the  Harvard  Union,  tlie 
H.isty  Pudding  Club,  and  th<'  Phi  Beta  Kapjta  Society.  Very 
early  in  life  he  had  shown  a  fondness  for  })oetic  composition,  and 
he  was  chosen  by  his  sclioolniates  to  write  the  oile  for  the  ex-

before  the  Hasty  I'uddiiiLT  Cluh  in  IIS.'JIS;  and  he  {gained  one  of 
the  Uowdoin  prizes  for  Knjjflish  (composition  the  same  year.  He 
fjraduat.'d  in  IS.'!!*,  the  thinl  sehol.ar  in  his  class,  havini;  one  of 
the  or.itions  for  his  part  at  commencement.  Immeiliately  .ifter 
graduatint;,  he  went  to  lialtimore,  to  hecome  the  principal  teacher 
in  a  fashionahle  girls'  school  which  had  just  been  (tpene(l  in  that 
city,  and  he  remained  in  this  position  for  nearly  two  years.  In 
May,  1841,  he  opened  a  j^irls'  school  on  his  own  account.  In 
lS4n,  lie,  with  his  hrotlu-r  Horace,  bej^an  the  study  of  divitdty 
with  the  Kev.  Dr.  (i.-W.  liurnap,  an  accomplished  bd)lical  scholar 
and  critic,  under  whom  he  continued  until  he  had  com|ili'tetl  the 
full  course  of  three  years  in  theolo<j;y.  He  was  licensed  to  preach 
by  the  Cheshire  I'astoral  Assoei.ition,  which  met  at  Keene  in  the 
summer  of  l.S4'3.  On  the  2'2d  of  December,  1S4'_*,  he  married 
Siilnev-Buch.anan  Brown,  of  Baltimore.  She  belon<fed  to  the 
same  Scotch-Irish  raci'  from  which  he  was  descended,  her  ancestors 
havinir  settled  near  Carlisle,  ]Vnn. 

"His  school,  which  for  an  entire  term  consisted  of  two  pupils, 
soon  became  so  prosperous  th.  he  tfra<lually  gave  up  all  idea  of 
devoting  himself  to  the  iniiustry.  He  had  preached  oidy  a  few 
times  and  at  irregular  intervals.  In  a  few  years  his  school  became 
the  largest  in  the  eity,  nuird>ering  at  one  time  a  hundred  and 
forty  ))U]tils.  For  twenty  years,  including  the  war,  when  there 
was  a  great  falling  off  of  pujiils,  the  avenige  nundter  of  his 
scholars  was  110,  the  largest  private  girls'  school  ever  kept  in  the 
city  for  so  long  a  period.  Nearly  a  thousand  ladies  from  the  most 
intelligent  families  of  Brdtimc  re  have  received  their  education 
from  him;  and  five  of  its  private  schools,  among  them  its  leading 
girls'  school,  are  now  (1875)  taught  by  his  pupils.  His  school 
hail  tin'  reputation  of  being  unusually  strict  in  its  government 
and  rigorous  in  its  re(|uirements  of  serious  study  from  its  jiupils. 
It  therefore  attracted  few  of  those  who  were  not  disposed  to 
learn.  He  was  f(»nd  of  his  profession,  and  devoted  to  it  all  his 
energy  and  all  the  best  powers  of  his  mind  ;  and  he  was  amply 
rewarded  and  cheered  by  constant  manifestations  of  the  respect 
and  affection  of  his  pupils,  among  whom  he  has  formed  some  of 
the  warmest  frii'iidships  of  his  life. 

In  1807  he  was  invited  to  take  charge  of  the  Peabody  Institute 
of  Baltimore,  Avhich  had  been  founded  by  Cieorge  IVabody,  of 
London,  in  1857,  and  which  has  received  from  him  an  emlowment 
of  *1,240,OOU.  His  school  was  still  in  the  full  tide  of  success,  and 
he  long  hesitated  before  he  accepted  this  important  )>ut  wholly 
wnsolicited  charge.     He  received  his  appointment  as  provost  of

tains over  70,0(10  volumes,  and  is  evi-rywhere  amon;jj  scholaru 
rei^arded  as  one  of  the  be.vt  reference  libraries  in  the  country. 

"Dr.  Morison  has  for  many  years  been  a  trustee  of  the  First 
ludependriit  Church  of  B.altiiiiore.  Vov  twenty-seven  years  he 
was  a  member,  an<l  most  of  that  time  the  superintendent,  of  its 
Sunday-school.  He  is  one  of  the  board  of  <j;overuors  and  visitors 
of  St.  John's  CoUi'LTc  at  Annapolis,  from  which,  in  IS71,  he 
received  the  honorary  de^iree  of  LTj.  D.  When  a  volume,  beau- 
tifully printed  and  illustrated,  was  issued  in  1871,  describinij  the 
representative  men  of  Baltimore,  he  was  selected  asthe^repre- 
Hei\tative  ti'acher"  of  the  city,  autl  a  short  sketch  of  his  life,  with 
a  portrait,  was  ])laced  in  the  bot>k. 

"In  lb<r)7,  he  purchased  in  I'eterborouuh,  N.  11.,  the  place  now 
known  as  Bleak  House,  and  iittetl  it  up  as  a  summer  residence. 
His  affection  for  his  old  home  drew  him  back  to  the  place  of  his 
birth,  and  for  more  than  twenty  years  he  and  his  family  have 
Hj)ent  at  least  three  months  of  each  summer  amid  the  scenes  so 
familiar  and  dear  to  his  boyhood.  When,  in  1H7"_',  he  ;;ave  up

Many  of  the  first  eniigr;ints.  of  the  ti<  .  u  of  Kev.  .lames 
Mc(irep)r,  after  their  arrival  in  Uoston,  went  to  Caseo  Bay, 
inteiidinu;  to  settle  in  that  locality,  IJut  circumstances  were  not 
)iro])itious  tor  the  success  of  the  undertaking.  They  endiarkeil 
from  Boston  late  in  the  season,  and  the  vessel  on  its  arrival  was 
frozen  in  for  thi'  winter,  and  thi-  emigrants  endured  great  suffer- 
ing. Not  .pleased  with  the  situation,  and  fiiuling  no  place  for 
settleir  u»  which  suited  them,  most  of  the  emigrants  re-emliarki'd 
in    th«'   spring. 


They  sailed  along  the  coast,  and  entered  the 
Merrimack  Uiver,  which  they  !iscende<l  as  far  as  Haverhill,  Mass. 
The  men  of  tlu'  e.vpedition,  leaving  their  families  at  this  jilace, 
went  and  viewed  tlic  l.'ind  in  }sut1ii'ld,  and  made  arrangements 
for  Bettling  there.  They  then  returned  to  Haverhill  for  their 
families,  which  they  took  to  Londonderry  (then  N\itfield),  and 
formed  the  settlement,  April  11.  171!',  <).  S.  I  will  here  state 
that  the  M«ily  poissible  connection  on  this  side  of  the  water 
lietween  the  Londonderry  Morisons.  and  tlie  Morisons  who  set- 
tled  in  Saiii^'mton,  N.  II.,   is  at    Haverhill,  Mass.,   which   is  the 


po 


int  to  which  that  branch  can  he  traeed.     That  branch  is  now  a 


large  and  very  respectable  family,  of  the  same  Scotch  stock,  and 
its  ancestors  ])r()bably  came  at  or  near  the  same  time  (171S)  from 
Ireland  or  England,  ami  it  is  not  im])robabIe  that  some  one  of 
the    Morison    clan   branched   off   at    Haverhill,   and   became   the 


anct

three  fourths  of  my  life  have  hei-n  spent  in  crowded  schools  and 
the  busy  ottice,  seldom  an  hour,  m"'  .■  a  day,  ]'iasses  by,  that  the 
remembrance  of  tliat  lonely  old  hill-top  does  not  come  over  me. 

"When  I  was  i-leven  years  (dd,  oiir  family,  to  my  great  delight, 
moveil  from  the  olil  hill-farm  to  one  ailjoining  it  on  the  east,  where 
a  road  jtassed  by  us,  and  we  hail  neighbors  in  sight.  Here  the 
years  wont  more  jileasantly  by,  forty  weeks  of  each  being  devoted 
to  labors  on  the  farm,  auii  twelve  to  attendance  on  the  district 
school.  Two  days  in  ea<'h  of  these  years  stand  prominently  out 
in  my  remembrance,  namely,  .lune  Training  and  Thanksgiving. 
Many  a  severe  day's  work  passed  almost  unnoticed  in  anticipation 
of  these  holidays,  and  many  a  one  was  I'cndered  lighter  in  recalling 
the  events  that  hau  attended  them.  My  father  died  in  danuary, 
18;>!l.  At  that  time  I  likely  had  not  seen  in  all  my  life  fifty  books, 
besides  the  spelling  and  reading  l;ooks  used  in  our  small  district 
scluxds.  A  desire  Iiad  bet'u  for  some  time  springing  uj)  in  me,  to 
know  more  of  wliat  had  been,  and  what  then  wa.s,  than  I  was 
likely  to  learn  on  the  farm,  and  I  attended  the  academy  at  Unity, 
N.  II.,  during  the  s]iring  and  autun\n  terms  of  that  year.  The 
autunm  of  1840  I  passed  at  Meriden,  N.  II.,  in  attendance  on  the 
academy  there.  In  December,  184'2,  I  entered  the  New  England 
Senunary,  a  school  conducted  by  Swett  it  Jackman,  ut  \Vin<lsor, 
Vt.,  in  which  J  remained  two  years.  Here  I  wi'nt  through  a 
course  of  mathematics,  studying  history,  moral  science,  and  intel- 
lectual philosophy;  also,  commencing  Latin  and  Greek.  I  shall 
never  forget  how  the  bound;iries  of  the  world  were  opened  uj)  to 
me  during  these  two  years. 

"A  slight  event  about  this  time  deternnned  the  course  of  my 
subsequent  life.  One  <lay  I  came  across  an  encam])ment  of  ("ana- 
dian-Frencli,  consisting  cf  men,  women,  and  children,  with  horses, 
dogs,  and  caits,  all  re|)osing  by  the  wayside.  I  listened  to  their 
strange  talk,  .lud  wondered  that  they  coidd  understand  each  other. 
I  detennined  to  go  to  Cana<la  and  learn  French,  and  in  April,  184"), 
I  turned  my  face  tov.ards  Montreal.  I  had  intended",  on  arriving, 
to  iiiter  the  College  of  St.  ?Sul))ice  ;  but  on  visiting  it,  I  was  ad- 
vised by  the  sujierior  to  go  to  some  ])lace  where  I  would  hear  less 
Englif^-,  I  accordingly  repaired  to  the  village  of  Longiieuil, 
which  stands  on  the  l)anks  of  the  St.  Lawri'nce,  opjtosite  the 
eastern  extremity  of   Montreal.     Thi-re   were  at  that  linie  only

two  or  three  English-spenkiiig  families  in  t!ie  place,  and  I  went 
into  a  Canadian  family  to  board,  in  which  not  an  Englisli  word 
was  used,  ilere  I  remained  until  the  last  of  August,  being  con- 
tinually in  the  society  of  the  villagers,  studying  diligently,  and 
taking  private  lessons  in  French.  In  four  months  I  had  so  far 
advanced  that  I  could  read  it  ([uite  readily,  converse  on  the  ordi- 
nary affairs  of  daily  life,  and  gather  the  gist  of  general  conversar 
tion.  AVIiile  in  this  village  I  wrote  my  first  letter  to  the  Journal, 
a  jiajier  published  in  my  native  town;  thus  commencing  a  corre- 
spondence that  has  continued,  with  more  or  less  of  interruption, 
down  to  the  present  time.  Previous  to  duly  of  this  year  (liS4r)), 
the  jiostage  on  !i  letter  from  Montreal  to  Windsor  was  I84  cts.  I 
have  several  double  letters  on  which  I  paid  )M\  cts. 

"About  the  2(lth  of  August,  I  went  to  St.  llyucintlie,  a  beauti- 
ful village  forty-five  miles  nearly  east  from  Montreal,  jtleasautly 
situated  on  the  Vamaska  Kiver,  at  that  time  containing  three  or 
four  thousaiul  inhabitants,  a  very  large  stone  church,  a  venerable 
college,  a  convent,  nunnery,  and  public  market.  In  this  Canadian 
village  I  sjient  three  of  the  happiest  years  of  my  life;  atteiuling 
classes  in  the  college  most  of  the  time,  living  Avholly  within  its 
walls  during  one  year,  and  teaciiing  English  one  hour  a  day  for 
one  year.  Amongst  one  hundred  and  fifty  students,  there  were 
generally  not  more  than  a  half-dozen  English-speaking.  French- 
Canadian  colleges  are  wholly  under  the  control  of  Catholic  priests, 
and  in  this  there  were  about  thirty  priests  and  ecclesiastics.  The 
regtdar  course  of  studies  comprises  eight  years;  but  students  are 
admitted  into  any  class  they  are  prepared  to  enter,  from  that 
in  which  the  French  eieuK'nts  are  taught,  upward  to  the  last  year's 
course.  ]\ly  three  years  were  j)assed  in  the  classes  of  belles-lettres, 
rhetoric,  and  jihilosophy.  A  thorough  classical  education  is  given 
in  these  colleges.  ]\[os't  of  the  students  board  in  the  college,  and 
are  virtually  ])risoners  during  the  school-year,  from  about  Sept.  1 
to  July  1.  They  are  constantly  under  the  eye  of  a  priest,  and 
cannot  go  out  or  come  in  without  his  j)ermission.  JMy  favorite 
authors  during  the  three  years  passed  at  St,  Jdyacinthe  were 
Shakespeare,  Racine,  and  liijrace. 

"While  at  this  place  I  had  become  acfpiainted  with,  and  visited 
several  tinu's,  some  English  families  living  at  Kougemont,  about 
eighteen  miles  from  St.  liyacinthe;  and  on  leaving  ciollege,  July 
1,  184S,  I  repaired  thither.  Here  I  war,  married  July  10,  to  Susan 
Wells,  and  in  a  few  weeks  -eturned  to  Windsor,  my  native  town. 
If  r  should  forget  the  three  following  years,  it  wo>dd  cause  me  no 
sorrow;  suffice  it  to  say,  thui,  I  passed  them  in  working  during 
the  summer  months  on  a  farm,  and  in  teaching  in  winter.  During 
these  years  I  studied  Italian,  becoming  able  to  read  it  readily;  ami 
I  never  omitted  for  a  day  to  hxjk  into  ihe  classical  writers,  copy- 
ing oif  every  morning  several  lines  from  Homer,  which  I  studied 
and  learned  by  heart  while  at  work.  In  tS50  a  friend  at  Syracuse, 
N.  Y.,  found  a  position  for  me  as  teacher  in  an  academy  near  that 
place,  and  I  wi'ut  out  to  accept  it;  but  I  was  a  few  days  late;

another  had  taken  it ;  and  I  returned,  without  accoin|»lishing 
anytliing. 

While  liviiii;-  in  Canada,  I  had  become  strongly  attached  to  tlie 
country,  to  the  C'anadian-Freneli,  tlieir  manners,  customs,  and 
lan,uua<j;e,  and  I  longed  to  return.  In  October,  I80I,  I  moved 
to  liouKcmont,  and  engaged  a  school  which  I  taught  during  six 
years.  There  are  at  this  ])lace  about  twenty  English  families, 
living  in  the  midst  of  a  dense  French  population.  They  have 
a  church  and  school  by  themselves.  While  teaching  at  this  jilace, 
I  carried  on  a  small  farm,  and  1  still  have  an  interest  there;  two 
of  uiy  children  are  buried  under  the  shadow  of  the  little  church, 
anil  there  I  expect  to  lay  myself  down  some  day. 

"  Fn  the  autumn  of  1857,  I  moved  to  Cote  St.  I'aul,  which  is  a 
manufacturing  village  just  three  miles  from  the  centre  of  Montreal, 
where  I  havi-  remained  to  the  present  time.  During  nineteen 
years  —  till  tiie  autumn  of  1876  —  I  was  emjiloyed  as  bookkeeper 
and  cashier  in  a  manufacturing  estaltlisluMent ;  but  the  hard  times 
closed  that  up,  and  I  fell  back  on  teaching.  As  before  intimated, 
I  have  kept  up  a  correspondence  with  the  \'ermont  .Journal  for 
nearly  thirty-five  years;  and  since  August,  187;{,  have  written  a 
letter  for  nearly  every  number  of  the  pa}ier.  In  cousi-ciiiem-e  of 
this,  I  was  not  wholly  forgotten  by  the  people  of  Windsor;  and, 
in  making  arrangements  for  their  centennial  ce!el»ration,  duly  4, 
l87l'>,  I  was  invited  to  be  jirescnt  and  deliver  a  poem.  In  com- 
pliance with  this  recjuest,  I  (Uice  more  stood  in  the  streets  of 
Windsiir,  on  that  4th  of  diUy,  after  an  absence  of  twenty-five  yi-ars, 
gazing  wonderingly  upon  the  hills  that  stan<l  roundabout  the  old 
town,  and  being  a  stranger  to  almost  every  one  I  met.  A  pam- 
jihlet  was  published,  giving  an  account  of  the  doi'igs  of  that  day, 
anil  containing  the  oration  and  jioem  thi-n  delivered. 

'Oly  father,  when  a  youth,  learned  the  shoemaker's  tr:ide,  and 
worked  at  it  more  or  U'ss  till  two  or  three  years  l>efore  he  died. 
After  laboring  hard  all  day  on  his  farm,  he  went  to  his  bench  in 
the  evening  and  worked  till  midnight,  nu'uding  an«l  making  boots 
ami  shoes  for  the  neighboring  farmers.  He  was  very  exact  in  his 
affairs,  as  his  old  account-book,  now  in  tlu'  possession  ()f  my 
brother  ^lanpiis,  will  show.  He  received  his  pay  invariably  in 
kind,  taking  wheat,  corn,  and  other  produce  for  his  work,  and 
never  a  cent  of  money.  When  I  was  six  or  seven  years  old,  I 
saw  him  baptized,  and  he  joined  the  Freewill  Baptists.  My 
mother  belonged  to  the  Methodist  church.  As  f(.r  mystlf,  I 
never  united  with  any  church,  but  can  devoutly  worshij)  with 
any  religious  denominatittn.  I  have  now  for  years  attended  an 
Episcojial  service  every  Sunday  morning,  and  a  Methodist  in  the 
evening.

a  eoiivenient  designation  tc  distinguish  him  from  otliers  of  tlie

and  biogra])hieal  sketches.  Tlie  ntar  refers  Itack  to  t\\v  eonsecii- 
tive  number  under  which  parents  and  brothers  and  sisters  may 
be  found.  Added  sections,  by  reference,  are  other  sections  wliei'c 
the  same  person  appears  again  or  lias  appeared.  A  figure  over 
a  nanie  indicates  tlie  descent  from  Ciiarter  Samuel  countin(f  him 
(IS  07ie.  All  references  included  in  parenthesis,  as  (Margaret^ 
Samuel'',  John'-),  are  to  Jforrisons,  and  by  the  christian  name 
only.  Any  intermediate  ])arent  of  another  naiiie  will  be  readily 
found  from  the  star  number,  which  in  all  cases  refers  back  to 
the  father  or  mother,  whether  a  Morrison  or  some  otiier  name. 
All  places  are  in  Xew  Hampshire  uidess  otherwise  indicated. 
The  lirst  one  hundred  and  sixty-five  sections  are  genealogical

sketches  where  other  necessary  information  will  be  found.  It 
is  believed  that  this  arrangement  will  be  conducive  to  the  con- 
venience of  the  reader,  lie  wnll  also  find  in  added  sections  liack

Diivid  and  Samuel  are  the  only  Morisons  in  the  Charter  of 
whom  there  is  any  record  now  to  be  found  in  the  cemetery. 
The  next  gravestone  below  Charter  Samuel's  is  that  of  his  son 
Samuel.  His  sons  John  and  David  were  buried  there,  Imt  no 
stone  for  either  is  to  be  seen. 

The  wife  of  Charter  David  was  ]\[ary  Ann  McAlister,  and 
he  convoyed  to  her  brothers  David  and  William  portions  of  his 
allotments  by  deeds  dated  June  16,  1731,  and  Feb.  '24,  174(5, 
which  are  now  in  the  possession  of  Jonathan  McAlister,  a  descend- 
ant of  David  McAlister  and  the  owner  of  said  David's  farm. 
Said  Jonathan  informs  me  that  his  grandmother  told  him  that 
David  Morison  and  Samuel  jVlorison  were  brothers,  and  that 
David  left  no  children;    and  all   the  known  *\cts  contirm  this. 

The  names  of  David  and  Samuel  njipear  in  the  Charter  with 
that  of  Abram  Holmes,  and  in  this  order :  — 

"D.win  MoiusoN." 

"  Samuel  Mouison." 

"Abuam  Holmes." 

The  home  lots  of  these  grantees  Avere  together,  and  in  the  same 
order  coming  south,  David  Morison,  Samuel  Morison,  Abram 
Holmes.  They  were  upon  the  Avest  side  of  Beaver  Brook,  and 
within  the  territorial  limits  of  the  west  parish.  WIio  Avas 
Abram  HolmesV  Parker's  History  says  that  he  had  married 
for  his  second  Avife  jNIary  Morison,  that  he  was  early  elected 
an  elder  in  the  First  Church,  and  died  in  1753,  at  tlie  age  of 
seventy.  His  oldest  son  John  married  Grizel  Givean,  and  Sam- 
uel Morison's  oldest  daughter  Avas  also  named  Grizel.  Charter 
David,  Samuel's  brother,  having  finally  disposed  of  the  remainder 
of  his  real  estate,  conveyeil  his  jwrsonal  projierty  to  Abraham 
Holmes,  John  Holmes,  and  S;iuiuel  Miller,  Jujie  6,  1751.  Upon 
the  Avholc  it  may  reasonably  bi'  inferred  that  Mary  Morison  Avas 
a  sister  of  David  and  Samuel  Morison,  and  that  those  tAvo  Mor- 
isons  and   Abram   Holmes   and  jMary  his   Avife,  came   over  to-

gether  and  from  the  same  locality.  Were  David  and  Samuel 
related  to  Charter  James  and  John?  This  is  not  im))robal)le. 
Hon.  Tliomas  F.  Morrison,  of  Londonderry,  N.  S.,  from  the  tradi- 
tions which  he  lias  received,  thinks  they  were  coiisms.  .lames 
and  John  wore  sons  of  the  John  Morrison  referred  to  in  Parker's 
History  as  liaving  come  in  seven  or  eight  years  after  the  first 
settlement.  His  daughter  Hannah  married  William  Clendcnnin; 
and  my  father,  in  looking  over  Parker's  History  in  1852,  said  to 
me  that  he  had  been  told  by  one  of  the  Clendennins  that  John 
Morrison,  my  father's  grandfather,  was  related  to  the  John  ]Mor- 
rison  referred  to  by  Mr.  Parker.  "Cliarter"  David  and  Samuel 
met}/  therefore  have  been  brothers,  or  ne]ihews,  of  the  veneral)le 
man  known  in  this  History  as  17HG  John. 

My  father  told  me  that  the  mother  of  his  grandfather  was  a 
Henry,  and  so  I  have  given  Margaret  >Ienry  as  tlie  wife  of 
"Charter"  Samuel.  And  from  the  recent  History  of  Northwood, 
Nottingham,  and  Deerfield,  by  Elliott  C.  Cogswell,  it  a)i])ears 
that  the  wife  of  William  Morrison  who  settled  in  Nottingham 
about  1728,  was  Mary  Henry,  and  that  "their  relatives"  had  l)ut 
a  few  years  before  settled  in  Londonderry. 

WAS  THKUK    AN   KAHMEK   K.MKiKATION  ? 

There  are  traditions  of  one,  in  the  family  of  David,  son  of 
John,  son  of  Charter  Samuel.  Mrs.  Swain,  daugiiter  of  Dr. 
Moses  F.  Morrison,  writes  under  date  of  July  21,  1878:  "Aunt 
Clark  of  Schenectady  had  a  great  ])euchaiit  for  tracing  our  family 
line,  and  I  remember  to  have  heard  hei-  say  once  that  we  came 
from  the  same  stock  as  the  Duke  of  Argyle;  but  what  she  had  to 
base  such  an  idea  upon  I  cannot  tell."  The  aimt  Clark  referred 
to  was  a  daughter  of  said  David.  She  was  ])orn  in  1785,  and 
died  in  1858.  Mrs.  H.  House  wrote  to  a  relative  about  tiie 
same  time  :  "  I  have  heard  father  tel)  about  some  aunt  Betsey  that 
lived  in  the  Mohawk  valley.  She  was  a  great-aunt  of  grand- 
father jVIorrison  or  his  wife.  I  do  not  know  how  far  back  she 
went,  but  she  was  a  daughter  or  a  granddaugliter  of  a  lord  or  a 
duke,  but  I  think  he  was  a  lord.  I  have  forgotten,  but  it  seems 
as  though  it  was  Lord  Drummond,  but  I  am  not  sure."  This 
lady  was  a  daughter  of  Major  fJohn  IMorrison,  son  of  said  David. 
She  was  born  in  1805  and  is  still  living.  3Irs,  Adelaide  Wilson 
Avrote  to  her  cousin  Jan.  17,  18711:  "  Vour  grandfather  and  graiul- 
mother  and  my  motler  went  to  New  Ham)»shire.  .  .  .  On  their 
Avay  home  they  visited  aunt  Clark.  Tliey  went  with  her  to  visit 
a  second  cousin  by  the  name  of  Morrison.  They  lived  four  miles 
west  of  Sclienectady  on  the  canal,  on  a  farm.  This  family  seem 
to  know  a  good  deal  about  the  pedigree.  Tlu'v  knew  when  they 
crossed  the  Atlantic.  I  think  it  was  about  the  time  of  the  siege 
of  Londonderry  the  family  owned  some  castle  in  L'eland.  This 
family  had  some  relics  that  were  brought  across  when  they  iirst 
landed  in  America.  I  am  sorry  that  I  cannot  remember  niore 
alxmt  them.  ]\I other  and  uncle  talked  a  good  deal  when  they 
first  came  home  about  tiieir  noble  descent,  and  had  (juite  a  bit  of

fun  over  it.  I  visitod  this  family  witli  my  cousins,  Clarks,  when 
I  was  about  ten  years  old,  when  we  first  came  to  New  York 
State,  but  I  forget  much  about  them." 

These  traditions  are  given  for  what  they  are  worth.  Miss 
Louisa  F.  Clark,  upon  being  furnished  these  letters,  thinks  the 
aunt  Betsey  referred  to  by  Mrs.  House  may  have  been  her  mother's 
aunt  Leonard;  and  "in  regard  to  the  'lord  or  duke,'  I  can  give 
you  nothing  definite.  I  remember  my  motlier  and  cousin  Add. 
Swain  talking  about  it,  but  my  impression  is  that  it  was  not 
really  in  our  pedigree,  but  I  am  not  sure." 

Mrs.  Clark,  Mrs.  Gookin  (the  mother  of  Mrs.  Wilson),  and 
Maj.  John  3Iorrison  were  children  of  David,  oldest  son  of  John, 
son  of  Charter  Samuel.  Mrs.  Leonard  was  their  aunt,  not 
their  great-nwwi,  and  the  family  visited  are  said  to  have  been 
stco?i(?-cousins.  Who  were  they?  when  did  they  come  over? 
and  where  are  their  descendants?     §{;  174,  180. 

CHARACTEHISTIOS. 

There  were  four  Samuel  Morrisons,  known  as  "Sam,"  "Little 
Sam,"  "Blue  Sam,"  and  "(liray  Sam."  The  will  of  one  of  them, 
described  in  the  will  as  Sanniel  Morrison  Junior,  makes  a  bequest 
to  his  son  "Sam  Morrison  the  fifth."  The  will  is  dated  Aug.  26, 
1752.  The  wife  of  the  testator  was  Mary.  He  came  in  about 
1730,  his  deed  from  Alexander  McCullum  being  dated  Dec.  1, 
1780.  Besides  him  and  his  son  Samuel,  there  was  Charter 
Samuel,  and  his  son  Sanuiel  (born  in  1727),  and  Samuel  the  son 
of  1736  John,  who  became  of  age  about  1735.  From  his  descend- 
ants. Charter  Samuel  could  not  have  been  "Little  Sam,"  or 
"Blue  Sam,"  for  most  of  them,  whom  I  have  known,  have  been 
of  fair  complexion,  and  of  medium  size  at  least,  as  the  rule 
about  six  feet.  My  cousin  Josiah  Morrison,  who  is  over  six  feet, 
says  that  all  his  brothei's  were  over  six  feet,  as  was  their  father, 
and  one  of  them,  Samuel,  was  six  feet  eight  and  one  quarter 
inches  in  his  stocking  feet. 

My  aunt  Alger  was  a  large  woman,  weighing  250  lbs.  or  over. 
Charter  Samuel  was  uTidoubtedly  more  than  six  feet,  of  erect 
carriage,  rather  prominent  features,  broad  and  square  shouldered, 
long  armed,  muscular,  and  well  formed.  In  the  deeds  which  he 
gave  he  was  called  yeoman  and  husbandman.  His  autograph 
shows  that  he  was  not  illiterate.  It  is  presumed  that  he  was  a 
stanch  Presbyterian,  and  th.at  in  his  "rude  dwelling,  the  morning 
and  evening  sacrifice  of  prayer  and  praise  was  regularly  offered, 
and  the  Scriptures  were  devoutly  read,"  for  this  is  said  by  Mr. 
Parker  of  the  early  settlers  in  general.  His  brother-in-law,  Abram, 
or  Abraham,  Holmes  (who  died  in  1753),  was  for  many  years  a 
ruling  elder  in  the  old  parish.  Charter  Samuel,  upon  the 
formation  of  the  new  parish,  adhered  to  the  old  parish,  as  did 
his  brother  David,  and  Abraham  Holmes  his  brother-in-law,  and 
his  tax  for  the  support  of  Mr.  Davidson  was  as  large  as  any  of 
tliose  within  the  limits  of    the  new  parish  who  adhered  to  the

old.  In  .1  tax  list,  given  in  Parker's  History,  of  persons  on  the 
west  side  of  Beaver  Brook  (wliicli  Avould  be  in  the  new  parish), 
for  the  sujiport  of  Mr.  Davidson  of  the  old  ])arish,  his  tax  was  £5 
14,9.  9d.',  Robert  Clark,  Cajit.  Andrew  Todd,  Jose]ih  Cochran, 
Robert  Craige,  and  John  jNIaolurge  were  the  same.  David 
Morrison's  tax  was  £5  8s.  Id.  Tlie  otliers  were  less,  and  many 
of  them  much  less.  There  were  eighty  in  all,  being  the  original 
forty  and  their  descendants,  wlio,  by  the  act  creating  a  new 
parish  in  1740,  were  ])ermitted  to  adhere  to  the  old.  This  tax 
list  is  dated  Nov.  'J4,  1750.  His  respectable  standing,  his  adher- 
ence to  the  old  parish,  his  connection  with  Abraham  Holmes,  and 
his  mature  years,  favor  the  presumjition  of  his  having  been  the 
Samuel  Morrison  chosen  after  Abraham  Holmes,  whose  name 
appears  in  Parker's  History,  as  ruling  elder;  but  as  the  records 
liave  since  been  lost,  the  identity  cannot  be  proved.  I  look  back 
upon  him,  as  one  who  acted  well  his  ])art  in  life;  and  with  his 
Avife,  who  survived  him  many  years,  and  his  neighbors  and  friends 
of  that  day,  and  the  generations  who  followed  them,  he  has  a  quiet 
resting-place  in  that  beautiful  spot,  so  admirably  chosen  by  the 
tirst  settlers,  for  themselves  and  their  descendants,  and  which 
has  ever  since  been  occupied  as  a  cemetery.  It  is  only  a  few 
rods  south  of  the  church  at  East  Derry,  which  itself  is  only  a 
few  feet  from  the  ground  on  which  the  first  meeting-house  was 
erected,  in  1722,  the  same  year  of  the  grant  of  the  Charter.

HIS  DESCEXDAXTS. 

They  are  traced  principally  through  John  and  Samuel,  but 
only  imperfectly  even  as  to  them.  The  families  are  scattered. 
It  has  been  Avith  ditticulty  and  much  labor,  that  the  facts  given 
in  this  chapter  have  been  obtained.  So  far  as  practicable,  an 
opportunity  has  been  afforded,  to  all  knoAvn  to  be  interested,  to 
furnish  accurate  records,  and  my  work  is  as  complete  as  my 
information.  So  far  as  knoAvn,  the  descendants  of  Charter 
Samuel  have  not  become  very  rich,  or  learned,  or  great,  and  few 
of  them  have  entered  professional  or  ])ublic  life  in  any  way. 
They  have  not  dishonored  him.  They  have  not  lost  his  sturdy 
virtues,  or,  as  the  rule,  essentially  departed  from  his  faith.  If 
they  have  not  become  disthiguished,  they  have  been  respectable 
and  useful,  which  is  better;  not  one  of  them  has  reached  the 
})rison,  the  jail,  or  the  poor-house;  and  if  he  could  now  speak,  he 
might  well  say  Avith  the  Psalmist:  "I  have  been  young,  and  am 
old;  yet  have  I  not  seen  the  righteous  forsaken,  nor  his  seed 
begging  bread." 

167.  GuizEL,  AA'ife  of  Alexander  Craige,  died  June  8,  1750,  in 
the  forty-eighth   year  of  her  age,  as  stated  on  her  gravestone

David  Morrison,  and  also  receipts  given  to  bis  administrator, 
are  signed  by  Alexander  Craige,  who  \vo\dd  have  taken,  as  heir, 
if  liis  wife  was  a  sister  of  David,  and  the  sons  had  died,  and  siieh

108.  JoHV  Mokkison's  birthplace  is  entered  as  at  London- 
derry, Ireland,  because  such  is  the  record  in  the  family  Bible  of 
Dr.  Moses  F.  Morrison.  My  father  informed  me  that  he  died  at 
tlie  age  of  iifty-six,  and  of  hoai-t  disease.  The  ))robate  records 
show  a  grant  of  administration  on  his  estate  to  Elizabctli  Morri- 
son, his  widow,  March  I'J,  177G.  This  would  make  his  Inrth  to 
have  been  about  1720.  He  married  Elizabeth  Alexander.  The 
widow  of  John  Morrison,  their  grandson,  informs  me  that  he 
attended  lus  grandmother's  funeral,  when  he  was  quite  a  lad, 
perhaps  seventeen  years  old;  and  as  lie  was  born  in  1794,  her 
death  was  about  1811;  and  she  is  remembered  to  have  been 
about  ninety.  She  remained  very  vigorous  to  the  day  of  her 
death,  and  was  famous  as  a  s])inner.  After  the  death  of  her 
husband,  she  and  her  daughter  Betsey  continued  to  occuj)y 
rooms  in  the  house  on  the  homestead  Avhicli  Avas  taken  by  James, 
the  youngest  son,  subject  to  (heir  rights.  If  John  was  born  in 
1720,  his  father  gave  him  a  deed,  when  he  betiame  of  age,  as  it 
bears  date  of  March  1,  1740-41,  although  it  was  not  recorded 
till  June  25,  1700.     The  deed  is  as  follows:  —

"Received  and  recorded  25th  June,  17G0. 

D.  PuRiK,  liecd:' 

As  the  grantor  describes  the  grantee  as  "my  son,"  and  the 
land  as  "a  second  division,  laid  out  to  my  right  in  said  London- 
derry," it  is  now  pj'oved  that  the  father  of  John  Morison  (my 
great-grandfather)  was  Charter  Samuel.  The  grantee  died 
intestate,  in  1770.  David  and  Hannah  his  wife,  Saiuuel  and 
Mary  his  wife,  and  John,  conveyed  their  interest  to  their  brother 
James,  by  deed  dated  April ;},  1778;  and  Betsey,  Avith  her  husband 
Job  Leonard,  relinquished  their  interest  Feb.  19,  1814.  James 
conveyed  to  his  son  John,  and  the  land  is  now  the  property  of 
his  childreti,  Franklin,  James,  Dorcas,  Elizabeth,  Harlan  P.,  and 
Emiline,  so  thnt  it  has  been  in  the  family  of  Samuel  Morison 
from  the  time  it  was  set  off  to  him  as  a  part  of  his  share  under 
the  charter.  Another  parcel,  constituting  a  part  of  the  farm,  was 
conveyed  to  John  Morison  by  John  Blair,  by  a  deed  dated  April 
1,  1742.     §§  2,  4,  169. 

169.  David  Moruison.  I  have  in  my  possession  a  letter 
written  in  1852,  to  my  father  by  his  cousin  John  Morrison, 
which  says,  "according  to  some  old  scraps  of  deeds,  our  great- 
grandfather's name  was  David."  My  father  doubted  this,  but 
could  not  say  who  his  great-grandfather  was.  Besides  the  "  scraps 
of  deeds,"  there  were  receipts  to  John  Morison  as  administrator 
of  the  estate  of  David  Morison.  In  1878,  a  letter  of  inquiry 
from  Leonard  A.  Morrison,  Esq.,  led  me  to  examine  the  probate

recorrls  and  tho  registry  of  tU't'ils.  From  the  formor,  it  Jippoarcd 
that  tlie  warrant  to  the  ap]»raisor9  ot"  David's  estate,  inforiiied 
them  tliat  the  projicrty  would  he  shown  them  hy  tlie  administra- 
tor, "«  brother  of  the  deceased."  In  the  reijistry  of  (h'eds  I  found 
tho  reeord  of  the  deed  (a  eopy  of  whicli  has  heen  given),  provinj^ 
that  Jolm  was  a  son  of  Cliarti'r  Samuel,  and  also  tlie  record 
of  another  deed  from  the  sanu^  grantor  to  "David  Morrison  inv 
own  son."  There  was  also  the  i-ecord  of  a  deed  from  "C'liarter 
David  of  Ills  homestead  to  "  Diiviil  ^lorrison,  jun.,"  (hited  July 
24,  17;')0.  The  deed  of  Charter  Samuel  to  his  son  David  was 
dated  Aug.  -JO,  I74t>.  Both  det'ds  were  recorded  Feh.  17,  1750, 
in  the  same  hook  and  on  successive  pages.  Tlie  land  is  clearly  iden- 
titied,  and  the  ])root"  complete,  that  Charter  Samuel  was  the 
father  of  hoth  John  and  David.  That  .lohn  Morrison,  in  1852, 
occupying  tiie  same  homestead  that  had  come  down  to  him  from 
liis  great-grandfatlier,  should  liave  heen  misled  in  respect  to  his 
identity,  illustrates  the  uncertainty  of  unsupported  tradition,  and 
the  necessity  of  examining  the  registry  of  deeds  ami  the  prohato 
othce  in  tracing  pedigri-e  after  many  years.  During  this  search, 
I  also  found  the  will  of  Xl'MS  John,  and  the  deed  from  his  sons 
Janu's  ,'uid  ilohn,  and  furnished  cojiics  to  Leonard  \.  JNlorrison, 
which  lie  has  given   in   this  hook. 

A  deed  to  \\'illiam  Duncan  of  land  helonging  to  the  estate  of 
tliis  David  jMorison,  was  executed  l)y  the  parties,  and  in  the 
manner  required  hy  law,  if  lie  died  witliout  cliildren  and 
leaving  no  widow ;  and  sudi,  I  infer,  were  the  facts.  The  deed 
bears  date  Oct.  1,  17G1.  It  was  signed  by  "Margret  Morison," 
John  Morison,  Samuel  Morison,  Abram  Morison,  Jennet  Cham- 
bers, Mathew  jMorison,  3Iartha  Morison,  and  Alexander  Craige.

170.  Jexxkt  Ciiamijkus.  There  is  a  receipt  in  existence 
which  indicates  her  death  in  1790.  I  find  no  evidence  that  she 
left  any  children.     §§  2,  109. 

171.  Martfia  Morisox.  She  Avas  born  in  1723.  And  she

administrator,  which  is  all  I  have  ascertained  in  respect  to  her. 
§§  2,  109. 

172.  Mathkw  Morison.  His  father  conveyed  one  half  the 
honit  stead  to  him  in  1756.  He  became  insane.  His  ne]>hew 
Jame>  Morison  was  appointed  his  guardian,  and  afterwards,  in 
1777,  his  administrator.     He  left  no  children.     §§  2,  109. 

173.  Samuel  Morisox.  His  gravestone  is  standing  a  few 
feet  from  that  of  his  father  and  mother,  with  this  inscrijition :

1775,  in  the  48th  year  of  his  age."  There  is  an  entry  of  his 
birth  in  the  Londonderry  records  as  being  March  13,  1727.  He

He  does  not  call  him  his  xo)i.  in  the  deed,  itut  sim-e  there  is  a

istrator upon  David's  estate,  it  is  inferred  that  the  omission  was 
accidental  or  the  fault  of  the  scril)ner,  and  that  he  was  a  son  of 
Charter  Samuel.  There  is  the  same  omission  in  the  deed  of 
the  same  date,  of  the  south  half  to  Mathew  Morison.  It  is  pos- 
sible tlu'y  both  were  <;randsons.  This  Abram,  or  Abraham,  with 
liis  wife  Elizabeth  conveyed  s;iid  land  to  James  McMurphy  by 
deed  dated  iSfarch  14,  1707,  and  rec(jrded  Dec.  7,  1774.  I  am  not 
able  to  trace  him  after  this  conveyance.  'I'here  was  an  emigra- 
tion in  1741,  from  Londonderry  to  the  valley  of  the  Mohawk, 
west  of  the  Hudson  Kiver.  He  m^/y  have  joined  that  settlement,

175.  David,  eldest  son  of  John  and  Elizabeth  Morison,  at  the 
date  of  the  deed  to  James,  April  ;{,  1778,  was  married  and  living 
at  Dunbarton.  When  he  acknowledged  the  deed,  April  '27,  1784, 
ho  was  probably  living  at  Chester.  He  afterwards  lived  in  iMaine 
and  in  Vermont,  and  finally  at  Niagara,  N.  Y.,  where  he  died  in 
1812.  His  children  were  Elizabeth,  Moody,  .loliii,  Polly,  David,

1790.     He  -was  biuied  at  Post  Mills,  Fairloe.     He  died  so  early 
(of  cons'.imption,  as  my  cousin  G.  W.  Morrison  thinks),  his  grand- 
children knon'  but  little  of  him.     As  four  of  his  live  sons  made 
a  profession  of  religion,  it  may  be  inferred  that  he  possessed  the 
I'eligious  characteristics  of  the  first  settlers  of  Londonderry.    His 
widow,  for  a  few  years  after  his  death,  resided  on  the  farm,  and 
then  with  her  son  James,  and  finally  with  her  daughter  Mrs. 
Alger  at  Conesus,  N.  Y.,  and  until  her  death  in  18'22.     She  was 
the  daughter  of  Patrick  and  Mary  Koch,  and  was  l>orn  Dec.  -4, 
1755,  as  entered  in  tlie  recoi'ds  of  Derryfield.     She  was  married, 
as  shown  by  the  same  records,  June  8U,  1774,  the  record  of  the 
marriage  being  as  follows:  "June  the  30th  day  1774,  then  Samuel 
Morrison  son  to  John  INIorrison  and  Elizabeth  his  wife  was  mar- 
ried to  Mary  Roch  daughter  of  Patrick  Koch  and  Jan  his  wife." 
"  Recorded  this  11th  day  of  June  1777.    David  Starret  T.  Clerk" ; 
and  the  record  of  her  birth  is,  "December  the  '24th  day  A.  D. 
1755.     Then  Mary  Koch  daughter  to  Patrick  and  Jan  Roch  was 
born.     Recorded  this  14th  day  of  July  A.  D.  1770  year.     David 
Starret  Town  Clerk."     According  to  this  she  was  nineteen  when 
she  was  married,  which  would  make  her  older  tlian  the  tradition. 
It   is  J)  jssible  that  the  child,  whose  record  is  found,  died,  and 
another  took  her  name,  or  that  the  record,  having  been  made 
fifteen  years  after  the  event,  may  be  erroneous,  but  neither  is 
probable.     Her  mother  is  supposed  to  have  ber  .i  dead  at  the  time 
of  her  marriage.     And  of  her  father  there  is  only  the  tradition 
that  he  was  of  Norman-French  descent  (which,  :'"rom  his  name,  is 
probable),  and  that  he  was  a  sea-cajjtain.     When,  or  upon  what 
shore,  he  was  wrecked,  or  who  were  his  parents,  is  unknown.    Of 
grandmother  something  is  remembered.     My  cousin  Betsey  Mor- 
rison (now  seventy-five)  says  she  was  very  fair,  rather  fleshy,  of 
medium  size,  a  noble-looking  woman  with  blue  eyes  and  a  very 
kind  heart,  and  "I  loved  her  dearly."     She  also  says  she  was  very 
.scrupulous  in  her  observance  of  the  Sabbath,  and  as  slie  under- 
stands it,  was  a  Presbyterian.     There  comes  back  to  me  from 
Conesus  an  interesting  book  which  she  carried  with  her,  and  in 
which  her  name,  "  Mary  Morrison,"  is  written  in  a  bold,  legible, 
but  unknown  hand.     The  book  is  a  volume  of  forty-four  sermons 
by  Dr.  Watts.     The  dedication  is  at  "  Theobalds,  in  Hertfordshire, 
Feb.  21,  1720-21."     Among  the  hymns,  composed  for  the  ser- 
mons, is  one  I  do  not  remember  to  have  met  with  elsewhere,  but 
which  is  one  of  the  best  ever  written  by  Dr.  Watts,  and  which  is 
here  inserted.

But  Grace  can  raise  our  Hopes  on  liigli, 
And  quell  the  Terrors  of  the  Grave. 


What!  shall  we  run  to  gain  the  Crown, 
Yet  grieve  to  think  the  Goal  so  near? 

Afraid  to  have  our  Laljors  done, 
And  finish  this  important  War?

177.  John  Mouuison,  third  son  of  John,  son  of  Charter 
Samuel,  in  the  deed  to  Jsimcs  of  April  3,  1808,  was  described  aa 
of  Londonderry.  He  was  then  unmarried.  It  was  known  to 
my  father  that  he  went  to  the  State  of  New  York.  "Wliat  is  fur-

180.  Samuel,  eldest  son  of  Samuel,  son  of  Charter  Samuel, 
lived  at  Londonderry,  and  afterwards  at  Henniker,  He  met  with 
business  reverses,  and  his  end  was  calamitous.  His  children  are 
understood  to  have  settled  in  Ohio,  but  in  what  part  is  unknown. 
§§  5, 11. 

181.  Abram,  the  second  son,  built  mills  at  Londonderry. 
Deeds  signed  by  him  and  his  wife  Mary,  while  at  Londonderry, 
were  to  James  Ewing,  Jan.  20,  1782;  to  John  Brown,  July  11, 
1792 ;  and  while  living  at  Ilamstead,  to  John  Brickett,  June  5, 
1704,  and  to  Thomas  Arnold,  Jan.  8,  1801 ;  and  while  living  in 
Salisbury,  Mass.,  to  Stephen  Coffin,  March  28,  1808,  of  land  in 
Hamstead  and  Plaistow ;  and  to  Isaac  Martin,  and  also  to  Aquila 
Martin,  Jr.,  two  deeds  dated  Aug.  C,  1803,  of  land  in  Salisbury ; 
and  finally  to  William  Pettingill,  July  26,  1817,  of  land  in  Salis- 
bury. In  the  deeds,  or  many  of  them,  he  is  called  a  "wheel- 
wriglit."  Mrs.  Lydia  Bennett,  of  Alton  (now  80),  his  niece,  and 
who  visited  him  at  Salisbury  or  Newburyport  about  1817,  says  that 
he  had  but  one  son,  Daniel,  and  that  they  both  were  Quakers. 
She  thinks  Abram  died  at  Salisbury.  Daniel  was  for  a  time  with 
the  Society  of  Friends,  at  Weare,  N.  II.  (as  Mr.  Sawyer,  a  mem- 
ber of  that  society,  writes  me),  but  afterwards  went  to  Saratoga, 
N.  Y.  Mrs.  Bennett  gives  the  same  account,  that  he  went  to 
Saratoga,  and  says  he  had  four  children.  And  finally  the  tradi- 
tion in  Londonderry  of  Abram  Morrison  is  that  he  was  a  Quaker. 
I  am  satisfied  that  he  is  the  one  whom  the  poet  Whittier  has  im- 
mortalized. He  was  not  born  in  Ireland.  He  was  born  at  Lon- 
dondevrv,  X.  H.  From  his  father's  will  he  appears  to  have  been 
his  sf"'  ^  son.  Robert,  the  third  son,  Avas  born  Aug.  29,  1754, 
whic.  id  make  Abrain's  birth  .about  1752.  It  is  not  surprising, 
howe\ .  i'  /.  ^^''Q  "boy  "  who  knew  him  in  1817,  was  misled,  for 
the  i>/ „•,«*"  came  down  to  a  later  period.  With  many  eocentri- 
cities  he  seems  to  have  been  an  excellent  man.  For  Whittier 
writes  me,  "3d  mo.  10,  1880,"  of  hir.: ;  "Abram  Morrison  I  well 
remember ;  he  lived  in  Salisbury,  on  one  side  of  the  Powow  River ; 
our  Quaker  meeting  was  on  the  other  in  Amesbury.  My  birth- 
place was  Haverhill,  eight  miles  from  the  Amesbury  meetings  we 
regularly  attended.  He  may  have  been  a  wheelwright ;  I  recollect 
his  workshop  with  joiner  tools  and  turning-lathe.  To  me,  a  boy  of 
ten  to  fifteen,  he  seemed  quite  old  ;  he  may  have  been  fifty.  He 
left  with  his  family  when  I  was  still  young,  and  I  think  vv^ent 
to  Weare,  N.  H.,  which  place,  however,  I  have  heard  he  left.  I 
do  not  know  where  he  died,  nor  whether  any  of  his  family  are 
living ;  a  son  of  his,  Daniel,  lived  at  one  time  near  Saratoga,  N. 
Y.  We  always  thought  he  must  have  come  direct  from  Ireland. 
He  had  the  real  brogue  of  the  Green  Island,  was  witty  and  eccen- 
tric, but  a  good  man  and  thoroughly  honest.  In  my  rhyme  I 
have  given  a  boy's  impression  of  him  which  may  not  have  been 
altogether  accurate.  He  could  make  verses  readily,  and  I  re-

ABRAM  MORRISON. 

BY  JOHN  GllEENLEAF   WIIITTIER. 

'Midst  the  meu  aiul  things  wliich  will 
Iliuiut  an  old  man's  memory  still, 
Drollest,  qnaintcst  of  them  all, 
With  a  boy's  laugh  I  recall 

Good  old  Al)rani  Morrison. 

When  the  Grist  and  Rolling  Mill 
Ground  and  rumbled  by  Po  Hill, 
And  the  old  red  sehool-house  stood 
Midway  in  the  Powow's  tlood, 

Here  dwelt  Abram  Morrison. 

From  the  beach  to  far  beyond 
Bear-hill,  Lion's  Mouth  and  Pond, 
Marvellous  to  our  tough  old  stock. 
Chips  o'  the  Anglo-Saxon  block. 

Seemed  the  Celtic  Morrison. 

Mudknock,  Balmawhistlc,  all 
Only  knew  the  Yankee  drawl. 
Never  brogue  was  heard  till  when. 
Foremost  of  his  countrymen. 

Hither  came  Friend  Morrison ; 

Irish  of  the  Irishes, 
Pope  nor  priest  nor  church  were  his ; 
Sober  with  his  Quaker  folks, 
Merry  with  his  quiet  jokes 

On  week-days  was  Morrison. 

Half  a  genius,  quick  to  plan 
As  to  blunder ;  Irishman 
Rich  in  schemes,  'uul,  in  the  end, 
Spoiling  what  lie  could  not  meud, 
Such  was  Abram  Morrison. 

Back  and  forth  to  daily  meals. 
Rode  his  cherished  pig  on  wheels. 
And  to  all  who  came  to  see  : 
"  Aisier  for  the  pig  an'  me, 

Sure  it  is,"  said  Morrison. 

Careless-hearted,  boy  o'ergrowu! 
Jack  of  all  trades,  gooil  at  none. 
Shaping  out  with  saw  and  lathe 
Ox-yoke,  pudding-slice,  or  snathe. 
Whistled  Abram  Morrison. 

Well  we  loved  the  tales  he  told 
Of  a  country  strange  and  old. 
Where  the  fairies  danced  I'll  dawn; 
And  the  goblin  Leprecauu 

Looked,  we  thought,  like  Morrison.

First  was  he  to  sing  tlie  praise 
Of  the  Powow's  wiiuliiiy  ways; 
And  our.  stragjLjlinji;  village  took 
City  grandeur  to  the  look 

Of  its  prophet  Morrison, 

All  his  worils  have  perished.     Shame 
On  the  saddle-bags  of  Fame, 
That  they  bring  not  to  our  time 
One  poor  couplet  of  the  rhyme 
Made  by  Abram  Morrison  ! 

When,  on  calm  and  fair  First  Days, 
Rattled  down  our  one-horse  chaise 
Through  the  blossomed  apple-boughs 
To  the  Quaker  meeting-house, 

There  was  Abram  Morrison. 

Underneath  his  hat's  l)road  brim 
Peered  the  queer  old  face  of  hin;; 
A'.'.d  with  Irish  Jauntiness 
Swung  the  coat-tails  of  the  dress 
Worn  by  Abi'am  Morrison 

Still,  in  memory,  on  his  feet, 
Leaning  o'er  the  old,  high  seat, 
Mingling  with  a  solemn  drone, 
Celtic  accents  all  his  own. 

Rises  Abram  Morrison. 

"  Don't,"  he 's  pleading,  —  "  don't  ye  go, 
Dear  young  friends,  to  sight  and  show ; 
Don't  run  after  elei)hants. 
Learned  pigs  and  presidents 

And  the  likes !  "  said  Morrison. 

On  his  well-worn  theme  intent, 
Simple,  childlike,  innocent. 
Heaven  forgive  the  half-checked  smile 
Of  our  careless  boyhood,  while 

Listening  to  Friend  Morrison ! 

Once  a  soldier,  blame  him  not 
That  the  Quaker  he  forgot, 
When,  to  think  of  battles  won, 
And  the  redcoats  on  the  run. 

Laughed  aloud  Friend  Morrison. 

Dead  and  gone !     But  while  its  track 
Powow  keeps  to  Merrimack, 
While  Po  Hill  is  still  on  guard. 
Looking  laud  and  ocean  ward. 

They  shall  tell  of  Morrison  1 

After  half  a  century's  lapse, 
We  are  wiser  now,  perhaps. 
But  we  miss  our  streets  amid 
Something  which  the  past  has  hid. 
Lost  with  Abram  Morrison. 

Gone  forever  with  the  queer 
Characters  of  that  old  year ! 
Now  the  many  are  as  one ! 
Broken  is  the  mould  that  run 

Men  like  Abram  Morrison.

182.  RonEKT,  tlie  third  son,  livetl  and  died  in  his  native  town. 
He  served  six  niontlis  in  the  Kevolutionary  war,  altliongli  letters 
now  in  the  possession  of  his  granddaugliter,  Zoe  Ann  Flanders, 
show  that  he  died  without  being  able  to  make  proof  in  resjjeet  to 
a  few  days  of  the  period,  and  so  failed  of  a  jjension.  Papers 
which  I  have  seen  show  him  serving  upon  a  coroner's  iniiuest* 
upon  the  body  of  Daniel  Cutting,  Aug.  i;5,  1791  ;  and  also  as 
executor  upon  the  estate  of  his  mother-in-law,  Mary  Alexander, 
in  1793.  The  willf  is  dated  .Sept.  10,  1793,  and  there  is  otherf  evi- 
dence of  liis  being  a  man  of  good  business  capacity.  He  died 
in  his  ninety-second  year,  and  he  is  remembered  with  much  respect 
by  the  inhabitants  of  Londonderry.  He  married  his  cousin  Jennet 
Alexander.  She  was  born  Sept.  15,  1749,  and  died  May  1,  1832. 
Robert  Morrison  left  but  one  child  who  reached  adult  years, 
Jennie.     She  married  Robert  Dickey.     §§5,  13. 

183.  Jonathan,  the  fourth  son,  married  a  Hartford,  and  lived 
with  his  family  for  many  years  at  Rochester.  His  childre!i  were 
Jonathan,  Samuel,  Ephraim,  Sarah,  and  Isabella.     §§  5,  14. 

184.  David,  the  fifth  son,  enlisted  in  the  Revolutionary  war 
when  he  was  seventeen,  and  served  three  years.  He  married 
Mary  Kimball,  of  Rochester,  X.  H.,  in  1787,  and  lived  there  nine 
years.  He  then  went  to  Alton,  bought  a  wild  tract  of  land, 
built  upon  it,  made  him  a  good  farm,  and  settled  his  sons  on  lands 
adjoining.  His  farm  is  now  owned  l)y  his  grandson,  David  H. 
Morrison.  Mrs.  Bennett  says  that  he  and  his  wife  used  to  visit 
their  old  neighbors  in  Rochester  on  horseback,  and  once  a  year 
to  ride  round  to  Henniker,  Bow,  Weare,  and  doAvn  rountl  to 
Londonderry.  The  journey  took  them  about  a  week.  He  was 
made  of  good  stuff,  as  are   his  descendants.      He  died  Dec.  8, 

♦  The  coroner  was  Zechariah  Chandler.  Tlie  jury  found  that  Cutting^ 
"  came  to  his  death  by  the  misfortune  drowning  in  a  brooli  called  great 
Cooss  Brook  near  Capt.  Perham's  in  said  DerryHeld  on  the  13th  instant." 

t  The  will  gave  bequests  to  "  my  daughter  Jean  Clark  wife  to  Thomas 
Clark,"  "  my  daughter  Jennet  Morrison  wife  to  Robert  Morrison,"  "  my 
daughter  Mary  Robb  wife  to  John  Robb,""my  son  John  Alexander," 
"my  son  Hugh  Alexander,"  "my  granddaughter  Martha  Clark,"  "my 
granddaughter  Mary  Alexander  daughter  to  my  son  Hugh  Alexander," 
and  "to  kinswoman  Margaret  McCartney."  Among  the  bequests  were  a 
"black  silk  cloke,"  "black  silk  apron,"  "my  silk  crape  gown,"  "ray 
lambskin  cloke,"  "my  book  called  the  Confession  of  faith,"  "my  Great 
bible,"  "Anken's  Sermons,"  "my  brass  flax  comb,"  "  my  wool  combs," 
and  "  my  side-saddle." 

J  Among  the  papers  is  an  original  letter  to  Robert  Morrison,  from  his 
brother-in-law,  John  Alexander,  which  shows  that  .lohn  was  residing  at 
Belfast,  Ireland,  unless  some  other  Belfast  can  be  supposed.  It  is  dated 
"Belfast  September  the  IGth,  1795."  He  says  "we  are  all  well  at  present. 
I  heard  there  were  some  things  left  to  me  by  my  mother  and  will  take  It 
very  kind  if  you  will  send  them  with  Mary  Miller.  ...  I  got  everything 
ready  to  go  to  see  you  last  fall,  but  I  was  disappointed  of  a  passage,"  and 
also  desii'es  him  to  take  care  of  his  part  of  two  pews  in  the  meeting- 
house, that  were  his  mother's.  His  nephew  John  Alexander  is  now  living 
at  Londonderry,  a  fine  old  gentleman  of  eighty.

Isabella,  Martha,  Mary,  Lydia  (Mrs.  Bennett),  and  Jane.   §§5,  15, 

185.  Margaret,  the  oldest  daughter,  is  supposed  to  have  died 
at  Lynn,  3Iass.,  and  to  have  left  one  or  more  children,  but  I  have 
been  unable  to  ascertain  the  facts.     §  5. 

186.  Isabella,  the  youngest  daughter,  born  Nov.  14,  1765, 
married  Henry  Drown,  of  Rochester,  by  whom  she  had  nine 
children.  He  was  born  Jan.  27, 1773  (probably  at  Londonderry), 
and  died  at  Rochester,  Aug.  25, 1831.  He  was  quite  prominent, 
and  for  many  years  a  deacon  in  the  Congregational  church.  She 
too  was  noted  as  a  great  reader  of  the  Bible.  She  died  at  Rye 
Beach,  March  23,  1858,  aged  93.  Her  children  were  Ezra,  Char- 
lotte, Ruth,  Isabel,  Patience,  Sarah,  Ceiiith,  Hannah,  and  Mary, 
one  son  an  1  eight  daughters.     §§5,  16. 

187.  MuoDV,  the  eldest  son  of  David,  son  of  John,  sent  his 
sister  Polly  to  the  academy  at  Bradford,  Vt.  She  was  to  live 
with  him  in  Boston  on  his  anticipated  marriage  with  a  widow 
lady  to  whom  he  was  engaged.  He  was  to  make  "  one  more  " 
voyage  before  his  marriage,  but  died  of  yellow  fever  on  his  return 
passage.     He  was  a  captain's  mate,     ji  7. 

188.  MA.r.  Joiix  Morrison,  second  son  of  David,  born  Oct. 
22,  1777  (])robably  at  Dunbartou) ;  married  Mary  Camjibell  in 
1800.  In  1803,  he  came  to  the  town  of  Royalton,  Niagara  Co., 
N.  Y.  It  was  at  that  time  a  wilderness.  He  had  to  clear  a  space 
for  his  loij-house.  In  the  war  of  1812  he  was  stationed  at  Fort 
Niagara  in  command  of  the  State  troops,  took  ])art  in  the  battle 
of  Queenstown,  and  saw  General  Brock  when  he  fell.  At  the 
close  of  tlie  war  he  bouglit  a  tract  of  six  hundred  acres  in  the 
town  of  Porter,  Niagara  Co.,  to  which  he  moved  with  his  family, 
and  as  his  children  grew  up,  divided  to  them  their  portions  in  it. 
In  1852,  he  with  his  wife  left  the  old  farm  and  bouglit  a  lot  in  the

190.  FuAXKLiN  D.  and  Moses  F.,  twin  brothers,  wore  the 
remaining  sons.     They  were  born  at  Corinth,  Vt.,  Nov.  26,  1788. 

191.  Fraxklix  D.  married  Hannah  Tenney,  by  whom  he  had 
one  child,  Adeline  Clinton,  born  at  Calais,  Me.,  Nov.  '28,  1823. 
He  died  April  IG,  1835.  ,  U  1,  22. 

192.  Du.  Moses  Fokd  Mouitisox  was,  as  his  daughter  INIrs. 
Swain  expresses  it,  "  a  waif."  His  mother  died  soon  after  he  was 
born.  His  father,  having  a  numerous  family,  gave  him  to  Moses 
Ford,  of  Piermont,  who  in  return  gave  the  boy  his  own  name  and 
an  academic  etlucation.  He  studied  medicine  and  practised  at 
Landaff,  in  this  State,  then  at  Waterford,  Vt.,  and  after- 
wards at  Bath,  from  .July,  1832,  till  1852,  when  he  removed  to 
Nunda  in  Western  New  Vork,  where  Mrs.  Swain  was  living. 
He  took  his  degree  of  M.  D.  at  Dartmouth  College  in  1823. 
In  his  physical  structure  he  in  general  i)atteriied  after  his  great- 
grandfather. He  was  a  man  of  quick  perce]»tion8,  literary  taste, 
and  general  reading.  In  his  religious  views  he  was  an  excep- 
tion, in  rejecting  the  faith  of  his  ancestors.  In  1812  he  mar- 
ried Zilpha  Smith,  daughter  of  James  Smith,  a  well-to-do  farmer 
of  Bath.  She  was  an  excellent  woman  and  sympathized  with  him 
in  his  literary  pursuits,  but  W'as  a  useful  poise  to  some  of  his 
eccentricities.  He  died  from  the  rui)ture  of  a  blood-vessel  at 
Decatur,  Ohio,  Nov.  1856.  She  died  before  him  of  cholera  at 
Youngstown,  N.  Y.,  in  July,  1854.  Their  ehildren  arriving  at 
adult  ages  were,  Jane  Z.,  Albert,  Adeline  E.  T.,  John,  Napoleon 
B.,  Helen  W.,  Eugenia  A.,  and  Pauline  K.  A.     §§7,  23. 

193.  Elizaiieth,  eldest  daughter  and  child  of  David  Morrison, 
married  Capt.  Nathan  Towle  of  Piermont  in  1800,  A\ml  3,  where 
she  resided  till  her  death.  Of  her  I  knew^  but  little,  except  that 
she  was  always  referred  to  by  lier  children  and  nieces  with  inter- 
est and  affection.  Her  lildren  were,  Adeline,  Belinda,  Nathan, 
and  Franklin  M.,  of  wiiom  only  Adeline  and  Fi'anklin  married. 
§§  7,  17. 

194.  Mauy,  second  daughter  of  David  Morrison,  married  Na- 
than Gookin,  of  Piermont.  They  removed  to  the  State  of  New 
York,  and  of  them  I  am  but  little  informed.  Their  children  were, 
Eliza,  Mary  Ann,  Adelaide,  and  Frederick.  Adelaide  married 
Mr.  Wilson,  and  extracts  have  been  given  from  her  letter.  §§ 
7,  19,  166. 

195.  Haxxah,  the  remaining  daughter  of  David  ^Morrison, 
married  Edward  Clark,  of  Bradford,  Vt.,  in  1812.  He  soon  after 
went  to  Schenectady,  N.  Y.,  where  they  resided  until  their  death. 
I  never  saw  her,  but  have  always  understood  she  was  a  woman  of 
good  understanding  and  of  considerable  general  reading.  She 
has  been  referred  to  in  §  166,  as  familiar  with  the  earlier  tradi- 
tions of  the  family,  and  I  should  not  expect  her  to  have  been 
easily  misled.  Her  children  were,  Edward,  Laban,  Adeline,  and 
Louisa  F.     §§  7,  22,  166.

196.  JoM.v  ]\[ouRisoN  (my  uncle)  was  the  oldest  of  the  family. 
He  married  Raehel  ITowanl  in  1707,  and  settled  in  Lyme,  where 
he  always  lived  till  his  death  in  1H4H,  at  the  age  of  seventy-four. 
His  farm  was  a  very  good  one,  and  well  taken  care  of.  It  ad- 
joined the  well-known  Ci'lver  farm.  lie  was  about  five  feet  nine 
inches  (less  than  either  of  his  brothers),  had  dark  hair  and  eyes, 
was  stoutly  built,  and  weighed  about  two  hundred.  His  life  was 
uneventful,  but  useful.  He  was  a  good  citizen,  husband,  and 
father,  and  he  and  his  wife  were  for  nuuiy  years,  and  until  their 
death,  meml)ers  of  the  Congregational  church  at  Lyme.  Their 
children  were,  Zadock  H.,  ItoxauTia,  Margaret,  Mary,  John,  Ralph 
G.,  Manjuis  C.,  and  Lura  J).  He  left  his  farm  to  Marquis,  his 
youngest  son.     {(§  H,  'J4. 

107.  Sa.ml'ki,,  the  next  son,  I  saw  but  once,  but  his  stalwart 
form  is  well  remembered.  He  took  a  part  of  his  father's  farm  in 
West  Fairlee,  built  upon  it,  and  ended  his  days  there.  In  180'2, 
he  married  Elizabeth  Kowe.  He  was  as  promising  as  either  of 
the  sons,  and  but  for  one  weakness  might  have  been  more  pros- 
perous. Yet  he  was  esteemed  and  left  some  estate.  He  died  in 
1844,  at  the  age  of  sixiy-seven.  His  children  who  lived  to  grow 
up  were,  Samuel,  Daniel,  William,  and  Josiah  and  Uriah,  twin 
brothers.     §§8,  25. 

198.  Margarkt,  his  oldest  sister,  my  father  always  mentioned 
with  emotion.  She  was  married  when  she  was  seventeen,  and  he 
twelve,  and  she  died  in  180*2,  in  her  22d  year,  — a  young  wife  and 
mother.  He  was  much  attached  to  her  and  thought  her  very 
handsome.  Her  husband  was  Noah  Norton,  of  Strafford,  Vt. 
She  died  at  Chelsea,  in  that  State,  leaving  two  sons,  P]lihu  and 
Seymour  M.     §§8,  2G. 

199.  Jamks,  the  third  son,  was  about  ton  years  old  when  his 
father  came  to  Vermont.  He  was  apprenticed  to  Deacon  Palmer, 
of  Orford,  and  became  a  carpenter  and  joiner,  and  a  bridge-builder. 
When  quite  young  he  worked  for  JNIr.  Morey,  who  was  very  fond 
of  the  chase,  and  with  him  and  dog  and  gun  often  climbed  the 
steep  hills  of  Fairlee  and  Orford,  and  never  afterwards,  as  his 
daughter  says,  could  he  remain  in-doors  when  lie  heard  the  cry 
of  the  hounds  upon  the  mountain.  He  followed  his  trade  for 
many  years,  putting  his  savings  into  a  farm  at  Fairlee,  to  which, 
after  about  1832,  he  devoted  his  principal  attention ;  and  he 
niade  it  a  very  good  one.  He  occupied  it  till  his  death  in  1841. 
He  was  about  five  feet  and  ten  inches,  of  light  complexion,  light 
hair  and  eyes,  of  good  figure,  very  strongly  built,  and  weighed 
about  two  hundred  and  twenty.  He  was  of  unusual  physical 
power,  and  in  wrestling  (while  he  allowed  himself  to  engage  in 
that  sport)  seldom  met  his  equal.  Once,  while  at  Plattsburg 
following  his  trade,  some  one  who  knew  him  got  him  out  of  bed 
at  night  to  tussle  with  the  bully  of  the  ring,  who  thought  no  one 
could  throw  him,  but  found  out  his  mistake  when  James  Morri- 
son took  hold  of  him.     He  was  a  victim  of  the  epidemic  typhoid

fever  which  prevailed  so  generally  in  1841.  lie  was  a  man  of 
vigorous  understanding,  and  died  in  full  strength  at  sixty,  with- 
out an  infirmity,  or  even  a  gray  hair  upon  him.  He,  as  also  his 
wife,  had  been  for  many  years  a  memher  of  the  Congregational 
church,  and  at  his  funeral,  which  I  attended,  his  pastor  said,  "A 
pillar  has  fallen  ! "  The  estimation  in  which  he  was  held  is  illus- 
trated by  an  incident  in  the  settlement  of  his  estate.  There  was 
a  charge  upon  his  book  for  an  article  which  the  party  said  he 
could  not  remendier  to  have  ha<l ;  but,  said  he,  "  It  makes  no 
difference;  it  is  right,  or  it  would  not  be  there.  For  3Ir.  Morri- 
son's word  was  always  as  good  as  his  note."  His  wife  was  Martha 
Polton,  daughter  of  John  Polton,  of  Lyme.  He  came  from 
Lyme,  Conn.  She  was  a  smart,  good-looking,  "cheerible"  woman, 
and  her  husband's  equal.  They  were  married  in  180U.  She  die(l 
at  P\airlee,  July  14,  ISTO.  Their  children  were,  John,  Betsey, 
Hannah,  George  sV.,  Kliiius  J.,  Ira  Parker,  Kobert,  Mary  E.,  and 
Davenport  A.     §§8,  '27. 

200.  Maky,  the  second  daughter,  was  born  in  Londonderry,  N. 
H.,  March  14,  1783,  and  when  (juite  young,  her  parents  moved  to 
Fairlee,  Vt.  She  lived  several  years  in  the  family  of  one  Colonel 
Chamberlain  in  Stratford,  Vt.,  at  which  place  she  married  Daven- 
port Alger,  July  1,  1804.*  About  one  year  thereafter,  they  moved 
into  Cayuga  Co.,  N.  Y.,  remained  there  one  summer ;  and,  in  the 
winter  following,  with  all  their  ]»ersonal  effects  jiiled  upon  an  ox- 
sled,  together  with  herself  and  child  (for  I  supjjose  they  were 
piled  on,  too),  behind  an  ox-team,  with  one  horse  ahead,  they 
Btarted  for  the  then  wilderness  of  the  Genesee,  the  home  of  the 
wild  beast  and  Indian.  They  reached  their  destination  in  the 
month  of  February,  took  jiossession  of  a  logJuit  covered  with 
bark,  and  for  floor  and  bedstead  sjtlit  basswood  logs  laid  on  the 
ground.  When  spring  came,  it  found  tliem  with  little  left  except 
jluck  and  energy,  which,  with  health,  finally  brought  them  com- 
petency. She  raised  five  children  to  man  and  womanhood  ;  she 
ost  one,  a  daughter,  about  twenty  months  old,  which  the  angels 
raised,  and  assisted  in  making  a  home  for  mother  and  father  over 
the  river.  I  have  frequently  heard  her  relate  circumstances  some- 
what startling  to  her  at  least :  one  morning,  while  making  her 
bed,  of  finding  a  large  rattlesnake  nicely  stowed  away  between 
the  feather  and  straw  beds;  and  fre(|uently  when  doing  her  work, 
with  her  back  to  the  door,  two  or  three  Indians  would  slide  in 
and  stand  in  the  middle  of  the  floor  unknown  to  her,  till  she 
would  happen  to  look  around  and  see  them   standing  there ;  and

*  Mary,  the  second  dauprhter,  who  married  Davenport  Alger,  was  a 
large-hearted  woman  and  of  excellent  understamling.  Her  husband 
became  cue  of  the  prominent  citizens  of  Conesiis,  N.  Y.,  and  was  a  large 
farmer.  They  were,  both  of  them,  remarlinble  for  their  size,  as  my  father 
has  told  me,  a  noble-looking  couple.  She  is  said  to  have  been  about  five 
feet  ten  inches,  and  the  two  weighed  six  hundred.  It  was  with  them  that 
my  grandmother  spent  the  last  years  of  her  life.  Their  children  were.

when  discovcrcMl,  tlioy  would  salute  hor  with  an  "  Ugli ! "  and  ask 
for  broad  or  meat,  which,  if  she  had,  she  always  gave  them.  They 
were  always  very  friendly.  The  scjuaws  would  frequently  come 
and  visit  her;  and,  when  she  was  lonesome,  she  would  take  Jehiel 
and  go  and  visit  them.  These  un({uesti'  iiably  were  visits  with- 
out gossip.  At  the  time  John  D.  was  a  babe,  the  squaws  all  flocked 
in  to  see  the  white  |)aj)j)oo8e ;  one  of  them  had  him  on  her  lap 
jabbering  over  him,  "  pretty  pappoose,"  etc.  Polly  was  then  five  or 
six  years  old,  and  standing  a  little  way  from  them,  somewhat 
excited  and  afraid  the  scpiaws  would  carry  him  oft".  The  squaw 
noticed  her  fear,  and  called  her  up  to  her,  and  took  off  a  sdver 
brooch  she  wore,  and  piimed  it  on  the  little  girl's  dress.  This 
she  kept  twenty  or  more  years,  and  finally  lost  it.  There  was 
not  much  travelling  here  in  that  early  day,  except  on  horseb.ack. 
Fortunately  for  both  her  and  her  husband  she  had  become  in  her 
earlier  days  a  good  and  fearless  rider.  She  owned  ati  active,  in- 
telligent horse,  and  a  side-saddle  and  bridle  (both  of  which  her 
brother  William  made) ;  the  saddle  is  in  the  possession  of  the 
family,  and  still  good  and  serviceable  ;  and  thus  equipjied  she  was 
ready  for  almost  any  travelling  emergency,  alone  or  in  company 
with  her  husband.  The  nearest  post-otfice  was  at  Canandaigua, 
twenty-six  miles  distant ;  the  nearest  white  settlement  at  Lima, 
twelve  miles.  She  would  often,  in  the  fall  of  the  year,  get  on  to 
lier  horse  and  go  to  the  latter  ]»lace,  get  a  bag  of  apples,  put  them 
on  before  her,  and  take  them  home.  One  instance  of  her  going 
out  on  horseback  to  bring  in  game,  I  have  often  heard  tell.  1  orte, 
as  she  sometimes  called  her  husband,  went  out  one  night  to  hunt 
up  the  cows,  and  while  looking  for  them  came  across  a  large  buck, 
and  shot  him.  He  was  so  large  he  could  not  carry  him  home  ;  so 
he  returned  home,  told  her  what  he  had  done,  and  that  he  wanted 
some  help.  She  got  on  to  her  horse,  and  they  started  for  the  deer; 
by  hard  struggling  they  got  him  on  the  horse  forward  of  her,  and 
thus  siie  carried  him  home.  Many  were  the  trials  and  depriva- 
tions she  had  to  pass  through  during  the  first  ten  or  fifteen  years 
after  they  moved  here  ;  but  having  a  firm,  strong  hand  in  her 
husband  to  lean  upon,  with  a  true  woman's  hope  and  fortitude, 
with  the  sympathy  »)f  friends,  both  red  and  white  (for  all  were 
her  friends),  she  passed  through  all  triumphant,  and  livjd  many 
years  to  enjoy  their  achievenujnts,  honored  and  respected  by  all, 
and  by  all  lamented  when  she  passed  on  to  spirit  life,  to  enjoy  the 
home  there  j)repared  by  her  spirit  daughter  and  angel  friends,  to- 
gether with  their  society  in  the  summer-land.  One  half  of  her 
family  are  now  with  her ;  the  other  still  here  working  out  their 
destiny.* 

Her  spirit  has  flown  to  that  beautiful  land, 

Wliere  sorrows  and  trials  are  o'er, 
There  waiting  and  watching  with  her  angel  baud 

Till  the  rest  of  her  loved  ones  reach  the  shore. t

SKKTCHES.  —  FOUKTII   GKNKRATION. 


889 


201.  AViLMAM  (my  father)  was  the  fourtli  son.  lie  learned 
the  trade  of  a  saddler  and  harness-maker  of  Jacob  Williams  of 
Haverhill,  and  he  became  a  superior  workman.  If  the  side-saddle 
bequeathed  by  Mrs.  Alexander  was  in  beautiful  design  and  work- 
manship ecpial  to  his  make,  it  was  a  gift  worth  having.  In  1808 
he  married  Stira  Young,  whom  lie  had  found  at  lier  uncle's,  Mr. 
Williams.  He  did  business  for  a  short  time  in  Vermont,  but 
soon  went  to  Bath,  where  he  remained  until  his  death  in  1854. 
His  business  was  good  until  the  war  of  1812  and  the  embargo 
which  j)receded  it.  After  that  and  during  the  war  it  was  imjtossible 
to  o\)tain  the  needful  stock  at  living  prices,  and  the  depression 
continued  long  after  the  war.  In  the  fall  of  1825,  he  sold  to 
Edmund  Brickett  and  went  to  the  Upper  Village  as  a  deputy 
sheriff,  hoping  by  an  out-of-door  life  to  obtain  relief  from 
asthma,  with  which  he  had  been  severely  afflicted,  but  which  still 
followed  him.  He  was  for  many  years  a  great  sufferer  from  it. 
His  new  employment,  although  in  some  respects  favorable  to 
health,  was  upon  the  whole  a  hard  one,  and  not  greatly  remuner- 
ative. His  circuit  was  large,  reipiiri  ig  two  or  three  horses.*  For 
fifteen  long  years  he  rode  through  Haverhill  and  Bath  and  over 
the  hills  of  Lyman,  Littleton,  Dalton,  Franconia,  Lisbon,  and 
Landaff,  in  the  Iiardest  storms  and  coldest  weather,  and  by  night 
as  well  as  by  day,  and  often,  in  the  closing  days  for  tlie  service 
of  writs,  for  twenty-four  hours  continuously.  His  duty  was  also 
the  more  trying  because  of  the  rigor  of  the  laws  against  debtors. 
There  was  then  no  homestead  exem])tion,  and  but  a  beggarly  ex- 
emption of  household  goods,  and  one  might  be  put  in  jail  for  any 
sum  over  thirteen  dollars  and  thirty-three  cents.  In  law  a  man's 
house  is  his  castle  if  he  keeps  the  outer  door  closed.  There  was 
great  discontent  and  some  threats  f  in  the  debtor  j»ortion  of  the 

*  One  of  his  first  losses  was  a  valuiible  horse.  In  driving  into  a  man's 
door-yard  the  liorse  stepped  upon  an  axe  tliat  liad  been  carelessly  left  and 
turned  up  tlie  sliarp  edge,  and  it  completely  severed  tlie  cord. 

t  His  experiences  were  sometimes  ludicrous.  Once  tlic  creditor,  knock- 
ing  at  tlie  door,  was  admitted  by  the  mistress  of  the  house,  but  catching 
sight  of  the  ollicer  she  shut  the  door  quick  and  knocked  the  ereditor  down 
with  a  ladle.  My  father,  hearing  the  outcry,  did  not  mind  the  "  castle," 
but  went  to  the  rescue  as  soon  as  possible.  The  poor  follow  was  consid- 
erably hurt  and  a  good  deal  "  scart."  At  another  time,  a  spunky  woman 
sat  down  upon  a  trap-door  to  prevent  his  going  into  the  cellar,  and,  in 
his  lifting  the  door  to  go  down,  and  her  struggle  to  prevent  it,  she  lost 
her  hold,  and  both  fell  to  the  bottom  of  the  cellar.  He  went  to  arrest  a 
man  whose  name  is  gone  from  me,  but  whom  we  will  call  Stickney,  and 
found  him  at  work  with  a  breaking-up  hoe.  Stickney  marked  a  line  upon 
the  ground,  and  told  him  if  he  stepped  over  it  he  would  strike  him  down. 
My  father,  cautiously  edging  up  to  the  line,  and  keeping  his  eye  on  Stick- 
ney, said,  "  Wlierc  is  your  line? "  Stickney  lowered  liis  hoe  to  point  it  out ; 
his  guard  was  down — one  spring,  and  he  was  in  the  "clutches  of  the 
law,"  and  held  there.  It  would  be  a  strong  man  that  could  get  away  from 
my  father's  grasp.  I  never  heard  of  his  wrestling  but  once  after  his  nuu*- 
riage,  and  that  was  with  Ira  Goodall  (the  well-known  lawyer  at  Bath),  a 
larger  man  than  my  father,  but  not  as  strongly  built ;  my  father  threw 
him.

community.  Various  were  the  expedients  to  get  inside  the  dwell- 
ing-house and  attach  the  goods,  but  no  one  could  ever  complain 
that  he  executed  the  law  with  unnecessary  severity.  Many  had 
occasion  to  remember  his  kindness,  and  he  was  universally  re- 
Gpected,  even  by  those  against  whom  he  must  execute  the  law. 

He  was  a  Freemason,  and  in  his  regalia,  which  set  off  his  fine 
figure  to  advant.\(?;e,  as  proud  as  need  be,  in  the  eyes  of  his  admir- 
ing sons  the  perfection  of  manly  beauty.  In  the  excitement 
which  followed  the  abduction  and  supposed  murder  of  Morgan, 
he,  in  deference  to  the  feelings  of  his  brethren,  did  not  for  some 
time  go  to  the  communion,  until  his  good  jjastor  (the  Rev. 
David  Sutherland)  could  stand  it  no  longer,  and  would  have  lum 
back.  The  position  he  took  was  that  he  could  not  renounce  and 
become  an  anti-Mason,*  but  he  would  not  meet  with  the  lodge, 
and  to  this  lie  adhered. 

He  was  an  enthusiastic  admirer  of  Gen.  Jackson,  and  from 
Jackson's  first  election  generally  went  with  the  Democratic  party. 
He  had  only  a  tolerable  common-school  education,  but  was  fond 
of  books,  and  a  man  of  intelligence  and  general  information  on 
rJl  the  leading  topics  of  the  day.  He  was  of  unfiinching  courage 
and  indomitable  will,  and  a  strict  disciplinarian  with  his  children, 
but  they  always  knew  tliat  back  of  any  apparent  harshness  there 
was  a  wealth  of  affection  for  them,  and  a  life  of  self-den iol  for 
their  welfare. 

In  the  Appendix  to  Mr.  Sutherland's  Address  to  the  Inhabi- 
tants of  Bath,  it  is  said  of  his  conversion  :  "  On  the  second 
Sabbath  of  September,  1820,  the  late  Win.  Morrison,  Esq.,  j\Ir. 
Jacob  Hurd,  and  Mr.  Ebenezer  Ricker  becsanie  deeply  affected  in 
view  of  their  lost  and  ruined  state  as  sinners,  and  during  the 
subsequent  week  their  wives  and  several  others  were  awakened. 
.  .  .  Among  all  classes  tlie  salvation  of  the  soul  was  for  several 
months  the  all-engrossing  subject.  As  the  results  of  this  great 
and  glorious  revival,  more  than  a  hundred  united  with  tlie  Con- 
gregational church,  and  a  considerable  number  with  tlie  Methodist 
church."  The  profession  thus  made  was  maintained  ever  at,'er. 
From  my  earliest  recollections  of  home  the  family  altar  was 
there,  and  my  father  a  priest  in  his  own  house  continuously. 

But  the  time  came  when  he  must  be  separated  from  his  family. 
He  had  repurchased  his  former  dwelling  from  Mr.  Brickett  as 
early  as  1839,  and  there  he  remained.  Tlie  asthma,  from  which 
he  had  suffered  so  long,  had  left  him,  but  in  its  j)lace  was  cancer, 
first  on  one  of  his  feet  and  then  on  his  body,  breaking  down  his 

*  Times  have  greatly  changed.  It  seems  to  he  supposed  that  one  must 
be  a  "  Mason,"  or  at  least  an  "Odd  FeHow,"  to  succeed.  They  till  all 
prominent  places  of  honor  or  profit.  Not  to  yo  beyond  my  own  profes- 
sion, six  out  of  seven  of  the  supreme  court  jndiits  are  Masons,  ami  the 
seventh  may  be.  And  yet,  havin;^  rejj;ard  to  the  l)est  interests  of  the  com- 
munity, I  do  not  advise  my  nephews  to  Join  this  or  any  otiier  secret 
organization  of  like  character;  and  in  this  I  follow  my  father  in  his  later 
years.  None  of  his  sous  ever  joined  a  lodge.  None  of  them  were  ever 
advised  to.

siibmission  he  awaited  tlie  certain  event,  taking  special  delight  in 
reading  a  book  fnrnished  iiim  by  his  pastor  (the  Rev.  Mr. 
Boutelle),  entitled  "The  Whole  Family  in  Heaven."  All  of  his 
children  of  adidt  years,  both  the  living  and  the  dead,  had  made 
a  profession  of  the  religion  which  was  his  comfort  and  support, 
and  he  hoped  to  meet  them  all  in  heaven.  God  was  merciful  to 
him.  He  was  not  to  die  the  death  we  had  feared,  but  of  dropsy 
in  the  chest.  The  most  of  his  family  were  with  him,  and  when 
the  end  came,  after  the  reading  of  the  eighth  chaj)ter  of  Romans, 
bowed  in  prayer  and  committed  his  soul  to  the  Father  of  Mer- 
cies, to  which  he  resj)onded  with  the  audible  and  heaily  "Amen," 
and  so  passed  over  Jordan.  It  was  a  bright,  beautiful  Sabbath 
morning,  and  the  people,  with  whom  he  hail  so  often  worshipped, 
were  in  their  earthly  sanctuary  when  he  entered  the  heavenly 

His  photograph,  from  which  the  albertype  is  copied,  was  taken 
but  a  few  months  before  his  death,  and  gives  a  very  imperfect 
likeness.  But  in  the  forehead  and  general  outlines  it  well  repre- 
sents him,  and  in  him,  the  prevailing  features  of  Charter  Samuel's 
descendants.  He  had  a  large  and  keen  light  blue  eye,  which 
could  be  very  stei'ii ;  was  six  feet,  of  tine  form,  and  in  his  prime 
weighed  abt)ut  two  hundred  and  twenty.  He  was  sixty-seven 
when  he  died.  And  what  shall  I  say  of  my  mother?  Her  dear 
face  comes  up  before  me,  full  of  the  faith  and  j)atience  and 
love  which  eh  ered  into  her  wliole  life  and  crowned  her  last 
years  with  glory.  For  nine  long  years  after  she  was  seventv-two 
she  was  contined  to  her  bed  by  a  broken  hip,  l)earing  the  intlietion 
with  such  fortitude  and  trust  and  cheerfulness,  that  hers  was  the 
room  most  sought  for  and  best  enjoyed  by  both  children  and 
friends.      She  died  of    apoplexy,  Feb.  9,  1868,  aged  eighty-one.* 

♦  She  was  Stira  Youujj,  the  daughter  of  Joshua  ami  Abiali   (Liukl) 
Young.     Her  sisters  were,  Thois,  Polly,  Lucy,  ami  Uuth.     Thois  married 

Wm.  Gookiu,  and  Lucy,  Bailey,  both  afterwards  living  at  Rutland, 

Vt.  llutli  married  Mr.  Runnels,  and  lived  in  Chataugay,  N.  Y.  She  had 
cue  brother,  Mason  Young.  He  was  born  March  24,  1791,  and  when  last 
hearil  of  was  living  in  Michigan  and  had  a  family  of  chiklren. 

On  the  father's  side,  she  was  a  granddaughter  of  .John  and  Susaiuia

202.  RoiJERT,  the  fifth  son,  became  lame  from  a  fever-sore  while 
under  age,  which  perhajis  occasioned  his  entering  a  ])rofessional 
life.  He  received  an  academic  education  at  Haverhill,  where  he 
was  noted  as  a  scholar.  He  studied  medicine  witli  Dr.  Wellman, 
of  Pierinont,  a  physician  in  good  practice  and  of  excellent  repu- 
tation. In  1814  he  was  married  to  Ann  Ford,  of  Piermont,  and 
entered  upon  the  practice  of  medicine  at  Campton.     He  was  of 

(now  Lisbon),  and  was,  perhaps,  the  "  Maj.  .rolin  Younir "  who  represented 
Bath,  Gunthwait,  and  otlier  (lass  towns  in  tlie  General  Court,  in  1784-5, 
altlif)n<?li  the  representative  may  have  been  his  son  John,  instead.  His 
sons  John,  Sanuiel,  Jesse,  and  Joshua  were  olHcers  in  the  Kevolutionary 
war,  and  in  Gen.  Bedel's  command.  Joshua  was  at  one  time  on  Gen- 
eral Stark's  staff'. 

Gen.  Ira  Young,  a  lawyer  of  celebrity  at  Lancaster,  was  a  son  of  Samuel 
Vonn^,  and  "  Dan"  Young,  a  noted  Methoilist  preacher,  who  died  at  Cin- 
cinnati about  1850,  was  a  son  of  Jesse.  Joshua  was  a  brilliant  oUloer,  but 
became  intemperate,  and,  in  a  tit  of  drunkenness,  put  opium  in  his  li(iuur, 
ami  so  died. 

Oil  the  mother's  side,  slie  was  a  granddaughter  of  E/.ekiel  and  Ruth 
(Hutchins)  Latld.  Her  unciles  were,  Joseph,  Ezekiel,  Moody,  and  James, 
and  her  aunts,  Xfolly,  Hannah,  an-i  Abigail.  Josepli  married  Ruth  Ring; 
E/.ekiel,  Elizal)eth  Swan;  Moody,  Polly  Williams,  and  .lames,  Lucy 
Sellons.  Molly  married  Jacob  Bai".  •;  Hannah,  John  Bailey,  and  Abigail, 
.Jacob  Williams;  and  my  mother,  aUer  her  father's  death,  lived  with  her 
aunt  Williams,  until  her  marriage.  Ezekiel  Ladd,  better  known  as  .ludge 
Ladd,  was  born  at  Haverhill,  Mass.,  April  10,  17;?8,  and  was  the  son  of 
Daniel  and  Meliitable  (Roberts)  Ladd,  who  himself  was  the  son  of  Daniel 
and  Susanna  (Hartshorn)  Ladd  of  said  Haverhill.  From  a  variety  of 
circumstances  it  is  probable  that  this  last  Daniel  was  the  Daniel  Ladd 
who  was  captured  by  the  Indians  in  their  raid  upon  Haverhill,  Mass.,  in 
ir.'jr,  and  his  father,  Samuel,  killed  by  them  at  the  same  time.  This 
Samuel  married  Martha  Corlis  of  said  Haverhill,  1074.  He  was  born  at 
Haverhill,  Nov.  1,  1049,  and  was  the  son  of  Daniel  and  Ann  Ladd. 
Judge  Ladd  was  a  very  prominent  and  ranch-esteemed  citizen  of  Haver- 
hill, N.  H.,  where  he  died  in  1818,  aged  80.  Ili^  wife,  Ruth  Hutchins, 
was  the  daughter  of  Joseph  and  Zarusha  (Page)  Hutchins,  and  was  born 
at  Haverhill,  Mass.,  Marcli  29,  1741.  Slie  died  in  1817,  aged  7(i.  Said 
Joseph  was  born  at  Haverliill,  Mass.,  May  29,  1G89,  and  was  the  son  of 
Joseph  and  Joliannah  (Corlis)  Hutchins.  They  were  married  at  said 
Haverhill,  Dec.  29,  1(569.  Mrs.  .ludge  Ladd's  brothers  were  Will,  Timothy, 
William,  Jeremiah  (born  .Tan.  15,  173G-7),  Timothy,  and  Joseph.  Jere- 
miah Hutchins  settled  at  Bath. 

Rev.  Grant  Powers,  in  his  Hiscory  of  the  Coos  Country,  says:  "The 
wife  of  Judge  Ladd  related  to  me  her  extreme  mortilication  on  the  first 
Sat)bath  she  attended  meeting  at  the  Ox  Bow.  .  .  .  Slie  thought  she  must 
appear  as  well  as  any  of  them,  and  put  on  her  wedding  silks,  with  rutHed 
cults,  .  .  .  and  brilliant  sleeve-buttons,  silk  hose,  and  florid  shoes.  Her 
husband  also  appeared  in  his  besc,  .  .  .  but  she  observed  that  they  went 
alone,  sat  alone,  returned  alone,  .  .  .  for  it  was  not  possible  to  get  near 
enough  to  any  of  the  females  to  Iiold  conversation  with  them,  for  each  sat 
or  stood  at  a  proper  distance  lest  they  should  soil  her  dress.  .  .  .  On  their 
return  home  she  told  her  husband  she  had  learned  one  lesson,  and  that 
was,  loh'-n  amoiiff  Eomans  conform  to  Romans.  The  next  Sabbath  she 
appeared  in  a  clean  check  linen  gown  and  other  articles  in  accordance, 
and  she  found  very  sociable  and  warm-hearted  friends."

born  at  New  Haven,  Ct.,  in  1785,  and  died  at  Coaesus  March 
31, 18"29.  Their  children  were,  Lucinda  A.,  Henry,  Batsey,  Olivia, 
Seymour  Norton,  Marv  Ann  (Mrs.  Allen),  and  Stira  Elizabeth.* 
§§  8,  31. 

*  A  life-like  sl<etch  of  tln-ni  is  given  by  Mrs.  Allen  in  ii  letter  to  myself, 
and  which,  slightly  condensed,  is  as  follows :  — 

"  I  don't  know  as  tliere  was  anything  eventful  in  ray  mother's  life.  She 
left  Bath  Village  to  come  home  witli  aunt  Alger,  who  was  there  on  a  visit. 
Grandmother  and  my  mother  were  at  your  father's.  Our  mother  was 
there  going  to  school.  Your  father  took  a  great  deal  of  interest  in  my 
mother,  and  in  lielping  grandmother.  As  you  will  sec,  she  was  the 
youngest  of  the  family.  She  was  to  come  and  stay  until  spring,  and 
then  grandmother  was  to  come  for  her,  she  not  knowing  but  what  she 
could  go  back  when  she  plejised.  Grandnni  and  uncle  did  not  oppose  her 
coming,  for  fear  aunt  Alger  would  not  like  it.  It  was  very  pleasant 
travelling  the  first  few  days ;  then  my  mother  was  sick  with  (piinsy,  but 
they  travelled  on.  It  was  in  the  fall  of  tne  year,  (Jctol)er.  The  last  daj' 
they  had  to  follow  an  Indian  trail,  that  soon  brought  them  to  their  little 
village.  This  was  something  new  to  my  mother;  she  had  never  thought 
her  sister's  home  was  so  near  the  Indians.  Before  they  roacheil  there, 
however,  a  neighbor  came  to  their  wagon,  and  said  to  aunt  Alger,  '  What 
are  you  going  to  do  with  this  child  here  in  the  woods  and  among  the 
Indians'!"  She  was  so  homesick  she  could  not  sit  up  or  walk  around; 
but  when  she  did  feel  like  it.  she  would  go  down  to  tne  wigwams  to  see 
the  squaws  nnike  brooms  and  baskets  (thej'  were  not  a  hundred  roils  dis- 
tant) ;  then  go  back  to  think  of  home.  She  woidd  often  tell  us  of  her 
home  East,  and  the  people  there. 

"When  I  think  of  our  mother,  and  how  nuich  s".  did  for  her  children, 
I  hardly  know  when  to  stop.  She  was  a  woman  of  strong  feelings;  she 
read  her  Bible,  believed  in  God,  and  was  a  wonnui  of  i)rayer.  Fortune 
indeed  was  not  very  liberal  of  her  gifts  to  us,  but  she  was  of  that  pleasant 
and  cheerful  disposition,  it  nnule  our  home  so  pleasi'iit.  But  to  go  back : 
when  she  came  here,  there  was  no  way  of  getting  mail,  only  as  it  was 
brought  from  Canandaigua  by  a  carrier  on  horseljack  a  distance  of  thirty 
miles.  She  was  informed  there  was  a  letter  there  for  her,  and  was  so 
anxious  to  get  it  she  could  not  wait  for  tin;  mail-nuin  to  conus  but  hired 
a  man  and  gave  him  one  dollar  to  go  and  bring  it  to  her.  She  had  been 
here  but  a  few  weeks,  when  aunt  Alger  thought  if  she  made  the  acquaint- 
ance of  some  one  and  be  married,  she  would  settle  here  and  be  company

CHARTER   SAMUEL   MORISOX. 


204.  Of  the  children  of  John,  the  son  of  John  and  grandson 
of  Charter  Samuel,  very  little  is  known  to  me  beyond  what  lias 
been  stated  (§§  0  and  160).  Their  names  were,  David,  i\[artha, 
Robert,  Elizabeth,  Polly,  Jane,  Margaret,  John,  Dinah,  and 
Samuel.  Margaret,  Avho  married  Abraham  Levey,  is  now  living 
at  Amsterdam,  N.  Y.,  and  John  is  or  was  living  at  Harris  Corner, 
Newcastle  Co.,  Del.,  where  there  are  two  daughters.  Dinah,  who 
married  James  Crawford,  is  living  at  Chilton,  Calumet  Co.,  Wis.; 
and  Samuel,  who  married  Marv  Mount,  died  in  18o7,  at  the  age 
of  thirty-one.     Sii  0,  33-30. 

•205.  Thomas,  the  oldest  son  of  James,  son  of  John,  lived  and 
died  at  Londonderry.  He  was  a  wheelwright,  and  made  the  first 
gig-wagon  in  town,  —  a  good  citizen,  not  prominent  nor  very 
j)rosperous.  He  died  in  1851  from  the  kick  of  a  horse.  His 
family  are  scattered.  Two  of  his  sons  died  in  the  nrmy.  He 
married  Sarah  Giles,  and  sue  survives  him.  Their  children  were, 
Martha,  Mark,  James,  Margaret,  and  Charles.     §§  10,  37,  '270,  "271.

for  her;  ami  so  the  iiitrocUictiou  was  made  between  her  and  father,  and  in 
a  few  short  months  they  were  married.  As  time  rolled  on  the  country 
became  more  settled  with  our  white  jjeople,  but  still  tliey  looked  forward 
when  they  could  go  East,  but  that  time  never,  never  came.  In  a  few  years 
my  father  was  drafted  into  the  war  of  1812,  and  was  on  the  lines  for  one 
year  or  moro;  and  while  he  was  in  service,  mother  was  at  home  with  two 
children,  watchin;?  over  them  with  man}'  cares  and  anxieties.  Death 
called  at  her  door  and  took  her  little  boy;  and  in  going  to  the  place  of 
burial,  a  man  took  the  corpse  on  horseback  by  an  Indian  trail  two  miles, 
to  what  is  now  the  oldest  cemetery  in  town.  While  my  father  was  away 
she  never  thought  of  sleep  at  night,  for  tlie  wolves  were  heard  howling 
about  all  night  long.  A  school  connuenced  about  this  time  quite  near 
her,  and  Lncinda  went  to  school.  One  night  mother  went  to  meet  her, 
and  saw,  as  she  supposed,  a  large  yellow  dog  cross  the  path  just  in  front 
of  her;  but  instantly  the  hunters  came  along  in  pursuit  of  the  wolf,  and 
she  was  somewhat  surprised  and  frightened  too.  Soon  after  my  father 
came  home  out  of  health  -.  and  as  there  was  no  public  house  in  town,  the 
people  v/ere  anxious  for  him  to  open  one ;  and  mother  being  calculated  for 
almost  any  kind  of  undertaking,  they  did  so.  About  this  time,  a  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Scott,  of  New  York  City,  came  into  town,  a  very  extensive  laud- 
holder,  and  my  father  was  made  lirst  postnnister  in  town,  and  the  first 
election  that  was  ever  held  in  town  was  held  at  my  father's  house.  And 
now  mother  had  given  up  going  East  until  her  family  were  grown  up.  .  .  . 
But  time's  busy  Angers  were  at  work,  and  years  rolled  on,  and  my  father 
died,  and  she  was  left  with  four  children.  Her  whole  thought  was  to 
watch,  educate,  and  guide  them  in  the  right  path ;  and  by  honesty,  in- 
dustry, frugality,  and  perseverance,  we  prospered  and  gained  in  worldly 
goods;  until,  in  after  years,  we  became  comfortable  and  independent. 
She  lived  to  see  her  family  grow  to  manhood  and  womanhood.  Seymour 
grew  up  a  strictly  honest  and  honoral)le  nnin,  and  has  held  a  number  of 
town  olflces,  and  is  much  sought  for  counsel,  and  I  am  proud  to  say  our 
family  have  always  been  respected,  the  first  in  town.  And  thus  she 
passed  away  to  tlie  eternal  world.  Iler  memory  will  always  remain  fresh 
with  those  who  knew  her  well.  She  was  very  gentle  and  retiring  in  her 
nature;  yet  nobly  had  she  lllled  up  the  measure  of  her  usefulness  here, 
and  we  had  to  bow  sorrowing  to  the  inevital)le,  with  only  the  accomplished 
good  they  leave  behind  to  nuu'k  their  having  lived,  and  the  recording 
angel."

206.  Jamks,  the  second  son,  was  for  a  while  an  overseer  in  a 
factory  at  wiiat  is  now  Laconia.  About  IHIO,  lie  went  to  the 
State  of  New  V'ork,  and  that  year  was  married  to  Betsey  llurd, 
of  Diiaiiesl)ur<;li,  Selienectady  Co.  In  1850,  he  went  to  Brighton, 
O.  His  dangliter,  JNIrs.  Berkley,  who  seems  very  competent  to 
state,  writes  of  him  as  follows:  "After  coming  into  the  State  of 
New  York,  he  taught  school  about  thirty-five  years,  and  in  com- 
mon branches  could  not  be  excelled.  lie  was  a  natural  genius, 
could  accomplish  anything  he  undertook;  and  a  more  industrious 
man  never  lived,  strictly  honest,  strictly  temperate,  and  I  never 
heard  a  ])rofane  word  pass  his  lips."  His  children  were,  Jane 
(Mrs.  Berkley),  AVellington,  James,  and  Daniel.     §§  10,  38,  212. 

207.  Joiix,  the  third  son,  took  the  John  Morrison  farm  in  Lon- 
donderry, and  occupied  it  until  his  death  in  1870,  at  seventy-six 
years  of  age.  The  original  dwelling-house  was  burnt,  and  with 
It  pajjcrs  which  if  now  existing  might  have  been  very  serviceable 
in  the  preparation  of  this  chapter.  His  father's  Bible  was  saved, 
though  scorched.  A  new  house,  built  just  across  the  road,  has 
been  kejit  uji,  and  is  in  good  condition.  John  Morrison's  life 
was  a  (|uiet  one.  He  was  a  jn'udent  farmer,  and  was  ]>articularly 
active  in  the  Presbyterian  church  at  Londonderry,  of  which  he 
and  his  wife  were  members,  he  having  united  at  the  age  of  twenty- 
one  or  before.  Ilis  wife  was  Sally  Coburn.  They  were  married 
in  1832,  and  she  is  still  a  sprightly  and  intelligent  woman,  to 
whom  I  am  indebted  for  many  of  the  )>articu]ars  of  our  branch 
of  the  Morrisons.  Their  children  •  were,  Franklin  G.,  James, 
Dorcas,  Elizabeth,  Ilarlan  P.,  Belinda,  and  Emeline.  §§  10,  39, 
275. 

208.  Jennie  Mokrison,  who  married  Robert  Dickey,  left  but 
one  child,  Zoe  Ann  Flanders,  who  has  before  been  referred  to. 
§§  13,  40. 

209.  Daniel,  the  oldest  son  of  David  Morrison,  of  Alton,  was 
a  prosperous  farmer  at  Alton,  and  was  two  years  a  member  of

♦  Morrison  Bennett  Inis  tliis  boar  story  of  the  woods  about  Alton  Bay 
wlien  David  Morrison  settled  there.  "Gen.  Neliemiah  Morrison  told  nie, 
when  a  l)oy,  he  was  coniin^i  from  Gilinanton  grist-mill,  in  the  woods  on 
horseback,  with  a  grist  of  meal ;  he  was  followed  by  a  l)lack  sheep  and 
two  lambs  (as  he  supposed),  and  he  called  them,  'Canna,  Canna';  they 
came  up  so  close  that  he  became  suspicious,  and  he  wiiippcd  his  horse 
and  left  them.  Other  parties  saw  them,  and  pi'onounceil  them  to  be  a 
black  bear  and  two  cnl)s."  lie  also  says,  "  Their  market  was  Portsmouth, 
one  day's  journey  to  and  from  on  horseback,  or  with  an  ox-teani  loaded 
with  corn,  rye,  etc  .  in  four  days,  forty  miles."

22'J.  Jank  was  the  oldest  daughter  and  child  of  Dr.  Moses  F. 
Morrison,  of  Bath.  She  m.'irried  Kev.  Alexander  Nelson,  «.  d. 
She  was  born  at  Bath  in  1.S12,  and  in  1832,  when  I  first  saw  her, 
was  mentioned  as  a  scholar  of  rare  promise;  and  she  impressed 
me,  although  I  was  but  a  boy,  as  a  very  suj)erior  woman.  Prof. 
Amasa  Buck,  who  h.ad  married  her  aunt,  and  was  a  noted  teacher, 
was  for  a  time  principal  of  an  academy  at  Newmarket ;  and  in 
1834,  she  became  its  preceptress.  The  Methodist  Seminary  at 
Newl)ury,  \'t.,  established  about  that  time,  was  much  celebnited ; 
and  she  v.as  j)receptress  there  in  1835  and  '3G,  discharging  her 
duties  with  marked  ability.  In  1837  and  '38  she  was  jtreceptress 
at  West  Poultney,  Vt.  After  her  marriage  in  1839,  she  went 
with  her  husband  to  Ohio,  and  both  were  for  some  years  ]»rofeB- 
sors  in  the  institutions  of  that  State.  They  now  resitle  at  Shelby, 
0.,  where,  at  sixty-eiglit,  she  is  still  engaged  in  literary  i)ursuifcs. 
Her  cliildren  are  Edward  Thompson  and  Clara  Albertine,  both 
distinguishc'd  scliolars.  In  features,  especially  eyes  and  forehead, 
she  mucli  resembled  my  father.     §§  23,  63,  231. 

230.  Alhert,  the  oldest  son,  aftor  attending  Newbury  Semi- 
nary about  one  year,  went  into  trade  at  Lyme,  and  did  business 
also  at  Bath,  but  in  1856  removed  to  Fort  Dodge,  la.,  where  he  now 
resides,  and  with  others  has  gone  largely  into  land  speculations. 
At  Lyme  he  married  Luthera  Cook,  a  woman  of  such  sweetness 
and  excellence,  that  we  all  felt  her  loss.  She  died  of  cholera  at 
New  Vienna,  O.,  in  1854.  By  his  second  wife,  Elizabeth  Koseu- 
crans,  he  now  has  three  children,  Adeline  Swain,  Pauline  Beecher, 
and  Caroline  Sargent.     §§  23,  64.

in  several  engagements.  He  is  the  owner  of  000  acres,  400  of 
which  are  in  his  home  farm,  and  very  rich  and  fertile.  One  of 
the  most  attractive  features  in  it,  he  says,  is  a  beautiful  mound, 
seventy-Hve  to  a  hundred  feet  high,  round  as  a  bee-hive,  very  reg- 

♦  Mr.  Swivin  died  Instantly  while  iitteiuliiijj;  to  his  usual  business  at  his 
store.  An  oijiluary  notice  of  lilni  says  :  "  He  was  born  in  New  Hampshire 
in  181();  while  very  youii^,  his  parents  removed  to  Nunda,  Livinu'ston  Co., 
N.  Y.,  where  lie  resided  till  l.sr)4,  when  he  removed  to  ButlUlo,  N.  V.  He 
came  to  Fort  Dodge  in  June,  1858.  Since  that  time  this  city  has  been  his 
permanent  home.  When  but  ii  boy  he  commenced  collecting  a  library, 
and  the  money  that  is  usually  spent  by  boys  I'or  tol)acco  and  rum  he  put 
into  books,  and  when  he  died,  left  one  of,  if  not  the  best  library  in  the 
State.  .  .  .  He  was  a  quiet,  unassuunng  uuin,  and  none  but  a  few  of  his 
intimate  friends  really  knew  him.  He  possessed  a  warm  heart  and  an 
atl'ectiomite  and  sympathetic  nature,  and  was  never  known  to  say  a  harm- 
ful word  of  any  one.  He  never  used  profane  language  or  vulgar  expres- 
sions, and  no  man  ever  lived  that  was  more  careful  of  the  feelings  of 
others  than  James  Swain.  He  was  tluely  educated,  was  a  deep  thiuker, 
and  an  inveterate  reader,  never  forgetting  anytliing  he  read,  and  was  un- 
doubtedly the  best-posted  man,  politically  and  generally,  in  our  city.  Mr. 
Swain  was  a  warm  partisan,  and  was  considered  by  his  political  friends 
as  the  verj'  safest  of  counsel.  By  his  death,  his  wife,  with  whom  he  had 
lived  over  thirty-one  years,  has  lost  a  kind  and  atfectionate  husband,  the 
city  of  Fort  Dodge  one  of  its  oldest  business  men  and  landmarks,  and  the 
Democracy  of  Webster  County  its  brains."

'239.  Eliiiu  and  Seymouh  M.  Noutox  were  the  only  children 
of  No:di  and  Margaret  (Morrison)  Norton.  The  forniei  was  a 
well-known  stage  proprietor  at  Chelsea,  Vt.,  and  in  ]>(rsonal  ap- 
pearance nuicii  resembled  my  father,  more  than  any  of  his  sons. 
His  wife  was  Sarah  Dewing,  by  Avhom  a  daughter,  Elizabeth 
Sarah,  who  married  Mr.  Willianis,  and  a  son,  Charles  Elilm.  Sey- 
mour M.  married  Fannie  Stevens,  and  resided  a  few  years  at 
Strafford,  Vt.,  and  afterwards  at  Uethany  and  Conesus,  N.  Y. 
He  died  in  18(iO,  leaving  five  children,  Margaret  Morrison,  Harriet 
Smith,  huvia  Morrill,  Walter  Hermon,  and  George  Frederick. 
Two  sons  had  died  before  him,  one  of  them  by  a  railroad  acci- 
dent.    §§  -20,  76,  77,  808. 

240.  Jonx,  oldest  son  of  James  Morrison,  of  Fairlee,  was 
a  stone-mason,  and  after  his  marriage  lived  at  Dover  and  died 
there  in  1S;)7.  His  wife  was  Mehitable  Tibbetts,  by  whom  a  son 
and  daughter,  Isaac  and  Clara.     §§  27,  77,  189,  140,  310,  317. 

241.  BirrsKV,*  the  oldest  daughter,  when  I  first  saw  lier,  over 
forty  years  ago,  was  apparently  a  hopeless  invalid  for  the  brief 
period  of  life  that  might  remain.  In  later  years  she  rallied  won- 
derfully, so  as  to  be  able  to  take  care  of  her  mother  in  her  old 
age,  and  is  now  at  seventy-five  as  vigorous  as  most  persons  at 
seventy,  and  with  scarcely  a  wrinkle.  Her  letters  t>  me  are  in  a 
plain,  firm,  and  beautiful  hand,  and  full  of  life.  She  .a  and  always 
was  possessed  of  a  keen  intellect,  cpiick  and  sharp  at  repartee, 
and  whenever  she  met  with  her  uncle  AVilliam  there  was  always 
a  passage-at-arms.  About  the  time  that  Frederick  was  married, 
he  had  learned  of  the  then  ascertained  fact,  of  the  ])urely  Scotch 
origin  of  the  Morrisons  ;  and  writing  to  lier  of  the  marriage, 
soberly  informed  lier  in  the  same  letter,  that  he  had  found  out 
that  although  called  Scotch-Irish,  we  were  Scotch,  no  Irish  blood 
in  us.  Betsey,  not  knowing  how  to  take  him,  wrote  back,  he  need 
not  think  that  Fred's  marrying  Ann  Sutherland  (she  was  Scotch) 
would  make  all  the  Morrisons  Scotch.  Upon  his  telling  lier  once 
how  much  he  admired  her  mother  when  he  first  saw  her,  and  he 
could  not  understand  why  the  daughters  should  none  of  them 
have  been  handsome,  she  said,  "It  is  the  abominable  Morrison 
nose."  One  must  have  his  wits  about  him  even  now  in  joking 
with  her.  At  her  cottage  home  in  Fairlee,  where  I  visited  her  a 
few  days  since,  she  is  cheerfully  waithig  the  bidding  of  her  Master 
to  pass  to  the  other  shore,  but  may  she  remain  on  this,  yet  many 
years,  a  blessing  to  her  friends.     §§  27,  166. 

242.  Haxnah,  the  second  daughter,  by  her  first  husband,  Rus- 
sell Kemp,  had  two  children,  Linus  Russell  and  James  Bartlett. 
They  lived  at  Orford  and  Piermont  until  her  husband's  death  in

'243.  Hon.  Gkokge  W.  ^Mokkisox,  the  second  son*  of  James 
]\T')rrison,  of  Fairlee,  was  born  in  Fairlee,  Vt.,  Oct.  IG,  1809,  and 
lived  with  his  parents  on  their  home  farm  until  the  fall  of 
1880,  Avhen  he  entered  the  academy  at  Thetford.  After  the  com- 
)»letion  of  his  academic  course  of  study,  he  entered  the  othee  of 
Judge  Simeon  Short,  of  Thetford,  as  a  student-at-law,  and  read 
with  him  and  Presbury  West,  Jr.,  until  the  com])letion  of  his  legal 
studies;  and  in  June,  1885,  was  admitted  to  the  bar  of  Orange, 
his  native  county.  JJefore  he  entered  upon  the  jiractice  of  his 
profession,  he  travelled  to  some  extent  in  New  York,  Pennsylvania, 
Maine,  .and  New  Ham])shire,  and  on  his  way  home  to  Vermont, 
stop])ing  at  Amoskeag  Falls  in  ^Manchester,  N.  IL,  its  immense 
water-power  attracted  his  attention.  He  there  learned  that  a 
company  of  Boston  caj)italists  were  jiurchasing  lands  adjoining 
the  falls,  and  upon  both  sides  of  the  river,  with  the  view  of  build- 
ing up  large  manufacturing  interests.  He  saw  clearly  a  tiou'-ish- 
ing  manufacturing  town  in  the  immediate  future,  sjjringing  up  as 
by  magic,  holding  out  singular  attractions  to  a  young  and  iimbi- 
tious  lawyer.  Acting  ujjou  his  own  judgment  with  reference  to 
its  business  j)rospects,  he  decided  to  make  Manchester  his  jierm.a- 
nent  residence,  and  grow  uj)  with  the  town.  Li  183G  he  ojiened 
an  office  in  Amoskeag  village,  subsecpiently  removed  to  the  east 
side  of  the  river,  and  has  continued  to  reside  in  ^Nlanchestei  until 
the  present  time.  He  at  once  took  a  front  rank  at  the  Hills- 
borough bar,  one  of  the  strongest  bars  in  the  State  ;  and  early  in 
the  practice  of  his  profession  met,  as  antagonists,  Franklin  Pierce, 
Charles  H.  Atherton,  Charles  G.  Atherton,  Samuel  D.  Bell,  Mark 
Farley,  Daniel  Clark,  and  many  others,  lawyers  of  character  and 
ability  in  the  different  counties  of  the  State  where  he  was  accus- 
tomed to  practise.  During  the  jieriod  of  twenty-live  years  the 
firms  of  which  he  was  the  head  did  as  large  a  business,  botli  in 
civil  and  criminal  cases,  as  any  in  the  State.  It  is  no  disparage- 
ment to  any  of  the  distinguished  men  whom  he  met  at  the  bar 
for  so  long  a  period  of  years,  to  say  that,  as  a  jury  lawyer,  he  was 
one  of  the  most  successful  practitioners  in  his  time  at  the  New 
Hampshire  bar.  Since  the  ye.'ir  1872,  by  reason  of  impaired 
health,  Mr.  Morrison  has  in  a  great  measu'-e  retired  from  the 
active  duties  of  his  profession.  On  the  5th  of  November,  1838, 
he  married  Miss  Maria  L,  Fitch,t  of  Thetford,  who  is  stiU  living. 
He  was  elected  to  the  State  legislature  and  served  during  the 
years  of  1840,  1841,  1844,  1849,  and  1850,  and  was  one  of  the 
most  active  and  efficient  members  of  the  house.  He  served  as

years  he  served  on  the  judiciary  committee,  two  years  of  which  ho 
was  chairman.  In  1845  he  was  appointed  to  the  office  of  solicitor 
of  Hillsborough  County,  which  he  resigned  after  a  service  of 
nearly  four  years.  He  served  in  the  31st  and  was  re-elected  and 
served  in  the  38d  congress.  It  was  during  the  33d  congress  that 
the  slavery  (juestion  w:>s  reopened  by  the  introduction  of  the 
Kansas-Nebraska  bill.  Mr.  Morrison's  jiersonal  and  political 
relations  with  President  Pierce  had  been  for  many  years  of  the 
most  intimate  and  confidential  character;  and  as  he  was  regarded 
as  one  of  the  al)lest  members  of  the  New  Hampshire  delegation, 
the  President,  Avhose  congressional  district  he  represented,  was 
exceedingly  desirous  that  he  should  support  the  Kansas-Nebraska 
bill,  one  of  the  leading  measures  of  his  administration.  Mr.  Mor- 
rison was  equally  desirous  to  support  the  administration  with 
all  his  ability;  and  in  a  personal  interview  with  the  President, 
so  expressed  himself;  at  tlie  same  time  ^e  told  him  that  his  pres- 
ent convictions  were  against  the  bill,  but  that  he  would  make  a 
careful  examination  of  the  measure,  and  would  support  it  if,  in 
his  judgment,  the  interests  of  tlie  country  demanded  its  becoming 
a  law  He  did  exaniine  the  bill,  and  examined  it  thoroughly  ; 
after  which  he  informed  the  President  that  ho  regarded  it  as  a 
most  dangerous  measure,  fraught  with  evils,  siiould  it  become  a 
law,  that  would  lead  to  the  most  disastrous  results  ;  and  painful 
as  it  was  to  him  to  differ  with  his  friend  upon  one  of  the  leading 
measures  of  his  administration,  still  he  must  opj)ose  it  with  all 
the  energies  of  his  mind.  Anu)ng  the  reasons  he  assigned  at  this 
interview  as  the  ground  of  his  ()p])osltion  to  the  measure,  was, 
that  tlie  slavery  (piestion  had  but  recently  been  settled  by  the 
compromise  measures  of  1850,  and  to  open  that  subject  now  would 
prove  a  most  dangerous  experiment,  would  be  disastrous  to  the 
Democratic  i>arty  in  the  North,  and  in  his  l)elief  endanger  the 
perpetuity  of  the  republic.  In  his  speecn  made  in  ojijiosition  to  the 
Kansas-Nebraska  bill,  he  took  the  ground  distinctly  that  slavery 
could  not  for  any  length  of  time  be  forced  upon  the  peojjle  of 
that  territory ;  that  if  the  bill  should  become  a  law,  it  would 
destroy  all  harmony  between  the  different  sections  of  the  Union, 
and,  he  feared,  would  ultimately  lead  to  civil  war,  and  the  over- 
throw o{  our  civil  instituiions.  For  the  correctness  of  the  ojiin- 
ionshe  entertained  at  t:iat  time,  and  so  forcibly  expressed,  we  need 
only  refer  to  the  l)or(".t,r  war  in  Kansas,  which  soon  followed  that 
most  pernicious  act ;  and  the  civil  war  of  1861,  with  all  its  terri- 
ble consequences,  tiie  rcGults  of  which  the  history  of  future  times 
can  only  determine.     §§  '27,  199.

Pennsylvania,  Vermont,  and  New  York.  At  the  tune  of  his 
death,  Oct.  22, 1862,  he  was  engaged  on  the  Weldon  Hotel  at  St. 
Albans,  Vt.  The  raiders  had  seized  some  horses,  and  were  taking 
them  out  of  the  stable  ;  the  owner  drew  a  revolver,  and  the  leader 
ordered  his  men  to  fire.  It  was  just  at  that  moment  that  Mr. 
Morrison,  hearing  a  disturbance,  came  round  a  corner,  and  was 
shot  by  a  bullet  intended  for  the  owner  of  the  horses.  The  ball 
passed  into  the  abdomen ;  yet  the  attending  surgeon  held  out  a 
hope  of  recovery,  v/hich  was  delusive,  for  he  died  about  two  days 
after,  leaving  his  devoted  wife  and  stricken  children  to  mourn 
his  untimely  end.  It  seemed  a  strange  ])rovidence  that  he  should 
have  fallen  by  an  act  of  war  while  engaged  in  ])eaceable  ])ursuits, 
huridreds  of  miles  from  any  known  hostile  force.  His  wife  was 
Mary  A.  Elliott,  ox  Boscawen;  and  the  children  who  survived 
him  were,  Maria  Louise,  Frank  Elinus,  ]\Iary  Augusta,  George

three  children  :    Analine  F.,  Roland  M.,  and  Edson  S.     >i§  27,81.

acquainted  with  at  Newbury  Seminai-y.  She  A\as  a  modest, 
comely,  and  intelligent  young  lady  of  sixteen,  whom  her  cousin 
was  (|uite  proud  of.  She  died  at  San  Francisco,  June  24,  1871. 
Her  husband  v,  as  Timothy  Sargent.  She  left  a  daughter,  ]Martha

247.  Da VKN PORT, the  youngest  son,  by  the  law  of  "heredity," 
was  fond  of  hunting,  and  lost  his  right  arm  in  consecpience.  He 
learned  the  trade  of  a  blacksmith  ;  but  since  the  accident,  by 
which  he  lost  his  arm,  he  has  been  a  house-i)ainter  in  the  summer, 
and  taught  singing-schools  in  the  winter.  And  as  most  lives 
have  more  than  one  misfortune,  a  few  weeks  since  he  lost  his 
dwelling-house  by  fire.  His  first  wife,  Lucy  ]\I.  Fogg,  died  in 
1848,  leaving  nine  children:  James  Kirk,  Lucy  Bell,  Ann  Maria, 
IMary  E.,  Charles  Robert,  George  V/.,  Addie  F.,  Mattie,  and 
Elinus  J.  By  his  second  wife,  Jennie  McNiel,  he  has  two,  Florena 
B.  and  Alice  M.  His  family  reminds  one  of  the  good  old  times  ; 
and  as  he  has  but  one  arm,  his  brother  George  W.,  having  rnoni 
and  ample  means,  has  generously  had  two  of  theui,  Lucy  Bell 
and  Addie  F.,  with  him  at  his  home  in  Manchester,  where  Addie, 
a  promising  miss  of  sixteen  summers,  still  remains.     §§  27,  88,  84.

His  wife  was  Klizabetli  Allen,  who  still  survives,  and  is  living 
upon  the  farm.  They  were  married  Feb.  'J5,  IS'27,  and  their 
children  were,  JNIary  J.,  D.ivenport,  William  S.,  Electa,  George 
M.,  Duane  1$.,  Dewitt  C,  Elizabeth  A.,  and  Jehiel  E.     §§  28,  85.

would  be  ca})tured  by  the  scpiaws  (§  197).  lie  was  born  Aug.  17, 
1814.  His  first  wife  was  Dimis  Stephens,  by  whom  he  iiad  two 
children,  J.  DeWitt  and  Ashobell  S,;  his  second  was  Adeline 
Morris,  by  whom  four  children,  Sarah  M.,  Laura  B.,  Frank,  and 
Addie.     He  is  a  farmer  and  lives  at  Conesus.     §§  28,  87. 

250.  James  M.,  the  third  son,  attended  school  one  siunmer  at 
Clintou,  Oneida  Co.,  N.  Y.,  a  year  and  over  at  Livonia,  and 
some  over  two  years  at  Lima,  Livingston  Co.  He  then  read  law 
about  two  years  with  Northiop  ifc  Smith  of  Livonia,  one  summer 
with  Hadley  &  Brittan  at  Troy,  the  remainder  of  the  third  year 
with  Endress  &  Vanderlip  of  Dansville,  Livingston  Co.  He  re- 
ceived his  diploma  at  the  suju'rior  court  at  Xew  York  City,  May 
14,  1847,  after  an  examination  in  the  usual  way,  and  located  at

251.  Polly  was  the  oldest  of  the  two  daughters  who  lived  to 
adult  years.  She  was  born  in  1810;  she  married  at  twenty-two, 
but  before  her  marriage  was  a  school-teacher.  Her  husband  was 
liev.  Sylvester  jNIorris,  of  Conesus.  Twenty  years  ago  their  eastern 
cousins  had  a  very  pleasant  visit  from  them  and  her  sister  Electa 
and  our  cousin  Elizabeth  McVicar,  from  which  and  their  corre- 
spondence we  judged  the  stock  had  lu-t  degenerated  or  lost  any  of 
its  excellence  by  emigrating  to  York  State.  ]\[r.  jMorris  died  in 
February,  1877.  Her  chilaren  are,  Sylvester  B.,  Orlando  K., 
Davenport  A.,  Mary  E.,  and  John  D.  Of  these,  Orlando  and 
Mary  are  still  living  with  her  at  Conesus  upon  the  home  fann. 
He  is  a  civil  engineer.  The  others  have  interesting  families  of 
their  own.     §§  28,  86,  150,  151,  152,  323,  324. 

252.  Elkcta,  the  younger  sister,  was  the  one  to  whom  my 
father  sent  Mary's  Bible,  as  stated  in  §  254.  It  must  have  been 
a  mark  of  special  regard.  He  had  \  isited  them  all  .about  one 
year  before.  Electa  married  Nathaniel  Cole,  by  Avhom  two  chil- 
dren, Eugene  A.  and  Roniaine  W.  Her  husband,  N.nthaniel  Cole, 
died  in  1872,  but  she  is  still  living  at  Conesus.     §§  28,  88,  254. 

253.  Fraxklix,  the  oldest  son  of  William  INIorrison,  of  Bath, 
July  4,  1825,  left  home  on  foot  for  a  journey  of  a  hundred  miles 
over  the  Green  Mouiitains  to  Rutland,  Vt.  He  was  sixteen  his 
next  birthday,  Sei)t.  9.  His  uncle,  William  Gookin,  in  connection 
with  Uichard  Gookin,  had  just  commenced  the  ))aj  er-making

(no  boy  need  fail  of  that  in  IJath  Village  from  the  time  the 
liev.  David  Sutherland  came  to  Hath  in  1805),  and  hy  the  agree- 
ment with  his  uncle  he  was  to  have  further  schooling.  He  came 
home  once  during  his  term  in  1828,  and  again  in  1830,  after  he 
was  twenty-one.  His  uncle,  from  the  state  of  his  affairs,  not 
being  able  to  give  him  a  suitable  j)lace,  upon  his  return  from  his 
last  visit,  he  went  to  South  Lee,  Mass.,  where  he  remained  till  his 
death,  Nov.  17,  1831.  Seventeen  letters,  nu^stly  to  his  sister,  Avere 
sacredly  kept,  and  extracts  from  some  of  them  will  show  his 
character. 

./««.  8,  1826.  "I  found  a  long  road  to  Rutland.  I  came  as 
far  as  Chelsea  the  first  day;  the  next  day  I  came  within  seven- 
teen miles,  which  I  thought  was  travelling  fast.  I  was  some 
tired,  but  had  time  to  rest  Itefore  the  mill  started.  I  am  very 
well  contented  here.  .  .  .  Give  my  love  to  Jane,*  and  tell  her 
that  I  am  well.  I  understand  you  canu'  home  sick  of  Concord. 
.  .  .  Tell  Bartlett  French  t  that  I  am  most  a  papcr-inaker.  .  .  . 
I  wish  you  all  a  happy  New  Year." 

,fune  25,  182G.  "I  am  contented  here,  and  like  the  paper- 
making  business  very  well.  ,  .  .  Tell  B.  F.,  if  you  see  him,  that 
if  he  wishes  to  buy,  I  will  sell  him  some  paper,  and  take  mv  pay 
in  i)ills." 

tfan.  14,  1827.  "You  know  my  expectations  when  I  came 
here,  whicli  I  hope  will  be  gratified,  but  time  will  determine.  .  .  . 
I  had  a  double  portion  of  schooling  last  winter,  so  that  I  do  not 
go  this  winter.  I  do  not  know  but  I  shall  be  as  good  as  my  word, 
that  is,  not  come  home  until  I  am  of  age  ;  b';t  I  lliink  that  I 
shall  come  home  by  the  time  I  have  been  here  two  years." 

/Sept.  24,  1827.  "  I  am  now  so  that  I  can  work  with  most  any 
of  thenu  .  .  .  They  tell  me  here  if  I  were  to  go  home  my 
folks  would  not  know  me,  but  I  think  I  should  know  them.  I 
generally  ;m))rove  my  leisure  mor.ents  in  reading,  which  I  be- 
lieve 1  am  as  fond  of  as  ever." 

April  10,  1829.  "I  have  about  two  months  left  of  my  school- 
ing, which  I  shall  have  next  winter.  ...  I  cannot  tell  how  it 
will  be  about  my  taking  charge  here,  as  it  is  doubtful  how  things 
will  tiirn." 

April  9,  1830.  "  My  health  is  very  good,  and  I  have  not  lost 
above  three  or  four  days  since  I  begun  my  apjirenticeship.  I 
shall  soon  have  my  trade,  but  now  it  is  not  good  for  much,  wages 
are  so  low.  A  journeyman  that  could  get  four  dollars  per  week 
when  I  began  my  trade  can  get  no  more  than  three  and  a  half, 
and  half  store-pay,  which  is  poor  encouragement." 

*  June  was  the  ('"uglitcr  of  Jaincs  I.  Swan,  a  very  elociueut  and  able 
advocate,  located  at  Balli,  I'roui  1807  until  Ills  deatJi,  April  8,  18L'0,  at  the 
age  of  forty.  INIy  father,  who  was  on  very  intimate  relations  witli  Iiiin,  at

March  lo,  18!Ul.  "  I  liave  iittoiultMl  soliool  about  eight  weeks  ; 
my  studies  liave  been  rhetorie,  natural  jjliilosopiiy,  and  clieiuislry, 
besides  my  old  ones." 

t/uly  8,  ISiJO.  This  letter  gives  a  long  and  interesting  account 
of  his  conversion,  after  which  he  says :  "  l'erhai)s  you  cannot 
read  the  whole  of  my  letter,  l)ut  this  you  may  read,  that  lam 
happy  in  the  love  of  Christ.  ...  I  can  join  the  Methodist 
society,  and  indeed,  sister,  they  want  me  as  a  class-leader,  but  I 
shall  not  accept  on  account  of  my  youth  and  inexjierience." 

South  Lee,  July  12,  18.il.  "I  feel  interested  in  all  that  tran- 
spires at  home.  ...  It  was  there  that  I  'earned  to  lisp  the  name 
of  father,  mother,  brother,  and  'twas  there,  amid  our  childish 
s))orts,  I  first  loved  you  with  a  brother's  love.  .  .  .  Six  years 
liave  rolled  into  eternity  since  I  crossed  the  Green  Mountains  to 
learn  my  trade.  Then  five  years  looked  long,  but  'tis  gone,  and 
I  am  now  two  hundred  miles  from  home,  endeavoring  by  hard 
labor  to  lay  up  surticient  treasure  upon  earth  to  enable  me  to  ])ass 
through  this  unfriendly  world  unoppressed  by  the  rif^li  and  be- 
loved by  the  jjoor.  .  .  .  Pajjer-making  is  poor  l)usiness  for  jour- 
neymen, and  a  man  needs  to  be  worth  enough  to  live  without 
work  to  set  up  the  business;  and  I  have  been  advised  by  Dr.  M. 
to  study  medicine.  .  .  .  Shall  I  remain  ignorant  as  I  am,  or 
shall  I  atten>i)t  to  rise  in  the  worlds  Sometimes  I  think  I  am  too 
anxious  about  this  world.'' 

South  Lee,  Oct.  7,  1881.  "I  was  jdeased  to  hear  such  good 
news  from  home,  and  especially  of  the  conversion  of  some 
of  my  old  mates  ;  and  it  is  my  daily  j)rayer,  'Thy  kingdom  come.' 
Never  was  there  such  a  time  as  the  i)resent.  The  Lord  is  doing 
wonders  in  our  land.  ...  I  have  done  with  physic.  I  have  a 
good  chance  to  make  myself  ac(iuainted  with  j)aj)er-making,  as 
the  foreman  is  more  willing  to  give  me  instruction  than  any  other 
hand  in  the  mills,  especially  in  colors,  which  1  suppose  is  owing 
in  part  to  my  being  some  accpiainted  with  chemistry,  u])on  which 
I  have  an  extensive  work  and  the  best  in  the  country.  ...  I 
find  employment  for  my  evenings,  —  two  in  seven  at  i)rayer-meet- 
ing,  one  with  the  singers  (as  you  must  know  I  am  their  chorister). 
I  have  the  perusal  of  Dr.  Clark's  commentary,  which  is  the  best 
I  ever  saw  ;  this,  with  my  chemistry  and  other  reading,  kee])S  me 
busy.  I  find  some  time  to  think  of  home,  but  cannot  tell  when 
you  will  see  me  there.  The  distance  is  such  that  you  must  not 
expect*  me  very  soon.  ...  I  am  but  a  babe  in  Christ;  yet  the 
Lord  has  seen  fit  to  ])lace  me  over  the  class  in  this  ))lace,  Avhich 
contains  about  thirty  meinbers,  and  were  it  not  for  the  ]>romise, 
'  My  grace  shall  be  sufficient  for  you,'  I  should  relinquish  my 
charge  ;  but  I  feel,  through  Christ  strengthening  me,  I  can  do  all 
things,  and  I  ho])e  you  will  always  remember  me  in  your  prayers. 

♦In  this  letter  of  Oct.  7,  1831,  he  wrote,  "When  raih'oads  become

It  was  his  last  letter,  and  one  could  not  wish  to  alter  a  word. 
Six  weeks  from  the  date  of  this  letter,  the  next  one  came.  It 
was  in  a  strange  hand,  and  opened,  said  :  — 

"It  is  my  painful  duty  to  iid'orm  you  that  your  son  Franklin 
is  dead.  Ife  expired  last  evening  between  the  hours  <d"  ten  and 
eleven.  His  sickness  was  occasioned  liy  what  the  doctors  call 
the  sinking  typhus  fever.  .  .  .  The  wholi'  village  feels  the  loss 
very  sensibly.  ]]y  his  exemplary  conduct  and  his  I'ngaging 
manners,  he  endeared  himself  to  us  all  ;  and  he  has  left  not  an 
enemy  to  say  aught  against  him.  .  .  .  About  thirty  hours  before 
his  death  hi'  requested  me  to  settle  his  affaii's  and  write  to  his 
friends.  Hkmjv   Iikloing." 

He  was  buried  at  S(mth  Lee,  under  tlie  shadow  of  the  moun- 
tains. Xone  of  his  kindred  eouhl  reach  him,  and  none  rest  beside 
him  ;  but  they  will  rise  with  him  to  meet  their  Lonl. 

'254.  Makv  was  named  for  her  grandmothei',  jNTary  lloach 
Morrison.  She  was  next  to  Fr;  'din,  and  his  usual  correspon- 
dent. Early  in  life  she  was  able  to  join  Avith  him  in  "cluldish 
sport,"  but  at  twenty  had  a  ))oor,  deformed  body,  so  weakened 
by  disease  that  one  of  her  limbs  was  broken  bv  the  mere  weight 
of  her  slight  frame,  while  walking  across  tl  .•  ■  .  r.  The  malady 
was  long  fought  against  by  the  best  medical  skill,  in  vain.  Hut 
by  "the  law  of  conijiensation,"  nature  was  lavish  in  mental  gifts, 
and  she  was  rich  in  treasures  of  mind  and  heart,  fitting  her  to  be 
queen  of  the  realm ;  and  she  was  the  inspiration  of  home  and 
the  delight  of  her  friends.  Like  Franklin,  she  early  became  a 
Christian,  even  before  him.  He  regarded  lier  letters  to  him  as 
•among  the  most  effective  means  of  his  conversion,  ami  her  intiu- 
ence  over  her  younger  brotliers  was  ecpudly  salutary.  Her  fea- 
tures were  regular  and  very  ex])ressive.  She  av.'is  as  full  of  life 
and  energy  and  courage  and  hoi)L,  as  any  soul  could  be  in  such 
a  body.  She  was  very  Avarni  in  her  attachment  to  liome  and 
friends ;  her  love  for  the  house  of  God  and  the  place  of  jjrayer 
was  still  stronger,  and  she  was  seldom  absent  from  either.  Such 
was  her  energy  aiul  her  love  of  the  beautiful  in  nature,  —  the  sky, 
the  fields,  the  hills,  the  woods,  the  mountaitis,  —  that  she  would 
not  be  kei)t  in-doors.  We  lifted  her  in  and  out  of  the  carriage 
as  if  she  were  a  child,  and  she  lived  much  in  the  oj)en  air  and  the 
bright  sunshine.  Her  life  was  upon  the  whole  a  happy  one.  Yet 
her  defornuty  was  a  great  trial  to  her,  and  she  looked  forward

-ai).  FuKDKKK  K  W.,  the  st'cond  son,  unlike  his  brothers,  was 
shrinking  and  bashful,  apparently  uiiHtted  for  rough  contact  with 
a  selfish  world.  He  was  apjirenticerl  to  Peter  Honney,  of  Little- 
ton, to  learn  the  trade  ot  a  tanner  and  currier.  While  there  he 
jiad  an  attack  of  typhus  fever,  and  for  many  (hays  was  ujton  the 
border-land  Ijctwixt  life  and  death,  but  tinally  recovered.  After 
his  ;ippreuticeship,  he  went  to  the  then  A\'est,  was  taken  sick,  ten- 
derly cariMJ  for  at  his  ;nint  Alger's,  and  on  his  recovery  came 
liome.  His  father  then  built  a  small  tannery,  and  "Win.  Morrison 
&  Son"  went  into  business  at  Bath  Upper  N'illage.  It  |-rospered 
for  a  while,  but  losses  at  the  South  and  other  reverses  followed, 
and  the  business  there  was  given  up.  Frederick  then  ])urchased 
a  right  of  water  .and  built  a  tannery  at  the  lower  village,  marrieil, 
built  him  a  dwelling-house,  and  remained  for  several  years.  ]>ut 
still  he  did  not  ])rosper;  and  after  selling  his  interest  in  the  proji- 
erty  for  barely  enough  to  carry  him  ami  his  family  to  Iowa,  he 
renu)ved  to  (Jrinuell  (then  a  new  colony)  in  1850.  For  many 
years  he  had  studied  and  experimented  in  tan.iing  glove-leather, 
always  confident  of  success,  but  never  quite  succeeding,  until  he 
went  to  Grinnell,  where  he  finally  established  a  )>rosperous  busi- 
ness, accjuired  a  coin|)etency,  and  "  F.  W.  Morrison  &  Son,  sole 
manufacturers  of  the  Morrison  goat-skin  glove,"  became  a  widely 
known  firm.  With  liis  reserve,  he  was  ])ersistent  and  jiossessed 
of  an  excellent  \unlerstanding ;  was  a  reading  and  thinking  m;in. 
In  184;5  he  married  Ann,  the  daughter  of  the  llev.  David  Suther- 
land,* to  whose  good  sense    and    many  womanly  qualities  and

in  tlie  oiiihteenth  century,  and  crossinj;:  the  Atlantic,  preached  tlrst  at

areatly  blessed.  His  rare  uritts  and  great  excellence  of  character  woukl 
have  commanded  a  nuieh  larger  Held  of  labor,  but  ho  declined  nil  ofters, 
and  chose  to  remain  witli  his  people.  He  \yas  a  pioneer  in  establishing 
Sal)batli  schools  in  this  country,  and  in  tlie  cause  of  temperance,  and 
greatly  advanced  the  common  scliools.  He  resigned  his  pastorate  in  1843, 
l)ut  continued  to  preach  in  ditt'erent  ])laces  up  to  1854.  I  remember  with 
what  emphasis  he  at  my  fatlier's  funeral  si>oke  of  Lis  own  liope :  '-I

Mary  Tionise,  David  Sutherland,  and  Anna  Jane.  Two  jtromising 
sons,  Frank  Henry  •'nid  Leon  Goodall,  had  died  before  him,  just 
as  they  were  entering  upon  manhood.     §§  'J9,  1)0. 

'J5G.  JIox.  CiiAiM.KS  U.  INIonuisoN  was  the  third  son.  He  was 
born  at  Hath,  dan.  "2-,  ISI'.),  and  nainocl  for  his  uncle  IJobort,  wlio 
died  in  July  of  that  year.  My  recollections  of  jiim  go  back  of 
the  time  of  his  first  going  to  school.  He  was  then  three  or  four 
years  old.  llv  was  always  a  strong,  resolute  boy,  full  of  life  and 
activity,  fond  of  J'lay,  but  willing  to  work,  and  loving  books. 
The  morning  of  Feb.  1'2,  18:24,  he  was  c:illed  u])  by  his  lirothors 
before  .hiyliglit,  to  look  upon  a  sight  which  he  nevi'r  forgot.  The 
day  jirovioiis  tiu're  was  a  great  rain.  It  loft  the  roads  and  streets 
clean,  carried  off  all  the  loose  snow,  and  swept  away  the  bridge 
over  the  Ammonoosuc.  The  same  night  a  tire  broke  out,  and 
raging  with  groat  violence,  destroyed  many  of  the  buildings  and 
most  of  the  principal  stores,  ^\'hon  he  looked  out  of  the  window, 
what  he  behold  was  a  sheet  of  ice  from  the  top  of  the  liill.  Hooded 
streets,  glowing  coals,  and  smoking  ruins.  He  was  five  years  old 
the  month  before.  The  same  summer,  in  his  venturesome*  way, 
he  went  in  swimming  with  older  boys.  He  could  not  swim,  lie 
could  wade;  and  the  day  before,  in  aijother  jtlaco,  had  waded  up 
to  his  chin,  and  of  course  could  do  it  again  ;  so  he  thought.  But 
in  water  up  to  his  arm]iits,  o?ie  xtep  more,  and  he  was  in  deep 

know  my  acceptance  witli  tliee  tlironfj;li  tlie  merits  of  my  adored  Re- 
deemer." A  little  while  before  he  was  released  from  his  sulleriiiirs  he  was 
lieanl  to  say,  "  Whv  are  the  chariot-wheels  so  lou^j  in  eominj;':'  Come, 
l.ord  .lesus,  coine  quickly  !  "  and  "  Oh,  jjive  me  patience!"  Scarcely  had 
he  uttered  these  worils,  when  he  passeil  away  without  a  struggle  or  a 
groan. 

"  When  al)out  eleven  years  old,  he  went  with  Frederick  (who  was  six 
years  older)  and  other  boys  of  Fred's  age,  three  (luarters  of  a  mile  up  a 
logging  road  in  the  woods  for  spruce  gum.  A  tree  was  found  well  cov- 
ered about  six  rods  from  the  path,  and  they  crow(ied  about  it,  helping 
themselves  as  fast  as  they  could.  Soon  they  licaril  a  crackling  of  the 
bushes,  as  of  some  animal  coming  towards  them.  "'Tis  —  'tis  a  bear!" 
they  shouted,  and  started;  but  not  all  of  them.  The  youngest  boy  stood 
in  his  tracks  and  lookeil  to  see  wlia^  It  was;  and  when  he  saw  the  fero- 
cious beast  lot  twenty  rods  ott',  \\\\.\\  his  fore-paw.s  upon  a  I'allen  tree  and 
looking  shar.i  ;it  him,  then  it  was,  "  Stoi>,  Fred  !  "  "  C^oiiie  along,"  he  said, 
in  reply,  scaicely  slacking  his  pace;  and  his  younger  brother  did  "come 
along,"  at  a  rate  that  soon  put  liim  at  the  head,  and  he  reiiched  tlie  open 
tield  in  ailvauce  of  any  of  them;  '>iiL  lie  never  lost  his  projieiisity  to  see 
if  it  in  a  bear  before  running  from  it.  The  creature  was  tr;ipi)ed  that 
night,  and  proved  to  be  a  large  wolf.  It  was  put  on  exhil)ition  next 
morning,  and  the  boys,  now  safe,  looked  on  with  wonder  at  their  escape. 
It  was  an  event  in  their  lives.

when  he  was  six,  he  drove  liis  father's  cows  hack  and  forth  to

the  fall  of  that  year,  the  family  moved  to  the  Tppei-  \'illai!,-e. 
Tliere  he  soon  took  care  of  the  hoi'ses,  went  to  school,  <lid  such  work 
as  liis  father  hail  for  him,  and  working;  for  fai-iners  a  portion  of  tlii'

he  workei'  throu<;li  Iniyint;  for  Mr.  Samuel  Hartlett,  doini;  almost 
a  man's  work.  The  lirst  of  his  uoin^  tlu're  iiis  temperance  prin-

became  |iroHcient.  When  he  was  about  iifteen,  he  had  another 
])rovidential  escape  from  instant  deatli,  while  en<i;a<j;ed  with  his 
father  in  cuttinti:  trees  on  the  hill  opposite  the  village.  They  cut 
the  trees  and  trimnu'd  them  out,  and,  once  started,  the  logs  ran  vi'ry 
swiftly  down  the  icy  hill  to  the  river,  m.'ikiiiu;  a  dee]t,  circuitous 
jiath,  which  had  ben  invariably  followed.  One  large  tree,  for  some 
cause,  stopped  half-way  down.  By  his  father's  direction,  he 
started  it  with  a  lever;  but  getting  the  wrong  side  of  the  lever, 
was  thrown  into  the  track  and  caught  in  a  bush,  and  was  helpless  ; 
nor  could  his  father  help  him.  The  tree  struck  oiit  a  new  path 
to  the  river.  Xot  a  word  was  spoken  by  either  till  the  danger 
was  past.  The  nt'xt  morning,  his  father  said,  "  You  did  not  seem 
frightened  till  the  danger  was  over,  and  then  you  were  as  white 


as  a  s

Woods,  who  had  known  and  encoura<^cd  his  preferince  for  such 
a  position,  inten-sted  himself  to  procure  th«'  appointment.  It 
was  made  upon  letters  from  .lud>fes  Woods  and  (iilchrist,  Hon. 
Harry  Hihiiard,  H(Ui.  Sauniel  Swazey,  Nathan  l>.  Felt<ni,  Ksip, 
Joseph  Powers  (afterwards  Councillor  Powers),  and  others.  The 
circuit  justices  were  three  in  number,  to  hi'  incre:ised  to  four  upon 
the  occurrin<f  of  u  vac.'incy  in  the  superior  court,  when  it  was 
expected  that  the  trial  of  causes  would  he  principally,  if  not 
exclusively,  liy  the  circuit  justices.  J  lis  associates  duriii<i;  the 
time  were  (ieor<;e  V.  Sawyer,  of  N'ashii.'i;  Josiah  Minot,  of  Con- 
cord ;  Charles  Woodman,  of  Dovi'r  ;  J.  Everett  Sargent,  of  Wcnt- 
wortli ;  and  Kdmund  L.  Cushinj;,  of  Charlestown,  vacancies  having 
occurred  from  time  to  time  l»y  resignations.  He  commencetl  his 
work  at  Concord,  by  trial  of  the  reported  case,  SewalTs  Falls 
Uridge  vs.  Fisk  and  Norcross,  and  had  completed  tin'  circuit  of 
the  counties  at  the  time  of  his  exit.  He  had  occasion  afterwards 
to  look  to  its  results,  and  was  gratified  to  find  that,  in  amount 
and  jierm.mency,  his  work  during  those  years  did  not  suffer  in 
comparison  with  his  associates  or  the  judges  of  the  superior 
court,  his  rulings  being  generally  sustained.  He  had  made  a 
pleasant  ac(piaintaiice  with  one  of  the  new  apjiointees,  Henry  F. 
French,  of  Exeter,  and  wrote  him  a  letter  of  congratulation.  In 
reply,  Judge  French  said,  "I  have  without  hesitation  everywhere, 
on  proper  occasions,  borne  testimony  to  your  ability  and  npright- 
ness  in  your  ofiice  while  on  the  bench,  ami  regret  that  tin;  State 
is    deprived    of   your   services,    and  of   those    of   Chief-Justice* 

*  Judge  Woods  as  trial  justice  luid  few  c(iuals  and  no  superiors,  and 
tlie  same  niiglit  jdniost  he  said  of  him  as  a  Justice  of  flie  Jiiw  court  and  as 
cliief-justicc.  lie  was  very  tliorongli  and  careful  iu  Ids  investigations; 
and  witli  liis  large  experience,  sound  judgment,  ami  uprightness  of  cliar-

before  the  meeting  of  tlic  legislature,  articles  had  appe.'ired  in  certain

afterwards.  Accordingly,  he  immediately  tendered  his  services 
to  Governor  (Joodwin,  ;ind  afterwards  to  (Jovernor  Herry :  but

the  new  bench,  who  had  taken  more  of  "the  stufT"  than  Judge  Woods,

in  the  struggle,  Judge  JMorrison,  upon  Walter  Ilarrinian's  appoint-

of  adjutant,  and  Governor  Berry  graciously  *  commissioned  him 
"  Lieutenant-Adjutant,"  Sej)t.  1, 1862.  It  was  in  the  darkest  period 
of  the  war.  He  was  then  in  his  forty-fourth  year.  He  was  mus-

Ky.,  al)out  June  1,  1808,  by  direction  of  Colonel  Ilarriman,  he 
wrote  a  history  of  the  regiment  to  that  date,  which,  with  very 
slight  alterations,  forms  the  Hrst  j)art  of  the  military  history  sent 
out  by  "  Natt  Head,  Adjutant  General,"  and  without  credit  for 
the  mithort<hip.  Xo  change  was  made  in  the  account  given  of

In  this  battle,  Adjutant  Morrison  was  wounded  twice;  first, 
immediately  upon  leaving  the  railroad,  hy  a  ])ieee  of  shell,  whieli 
inflicted  a  long,  ragged,  and  ])ainful  wound  upon  the  left  t'ore-arni; 
and  again,  a  contusion  u])on  the  left  leg  below  the  knee,  in  going

by  the  nature  of  the  ground,  and  sutt'ered  less  tiian  tlie  ri^lit,  whicli  was 
nnu'li  exposed,  and  sustained  heavy  loss.  The  slope,  where  this  win;; 
rested,  woidd  not  protect  it  from  tlie  enemy's  rifles,  uidess  the  men  were 
Cat  upon  the  ground.  'I'hey  were  direeteil  to  lie  down  and  load,  and  tiien

GritHn.  Col.  (i.,  noticing  that  he  was  wo....de»l,  suggested  to  him 
that  the  order  could  be  carried  by  some  one  else,  but  he  replied 
that  it  was  his  business  to  carry  it.  The  injury  to  the  leg,  which 
was  not  thought  serious  enough  to  be  entered  by  him  in  his 
report,  assumed  a  dangerous  aspect,  and  he  was  sent  home  for 
a  short  time  by  order  of  the  brigade  surgeon.  It  is  somewhat 
remarkable  that  although  twice  wounded  in  this,  the  first  battle, 
and  sent  home  on  surgeon's  certificate,  and  the  only  one  of  the 
field  or  staff  who  was  hit,  no  account  of  his  having  been  wounded 
at  all,  was  ever  entered  in  tlie  ]iublished  regimental  history  or 
roster.  The  attention  of  A(lit.-(ien.  Head  was  early  and  re])eat- 
edly  called  to  the  omission,  and  he  was  |»rofuse  in  his  promises  ; 
but  by  a  disgraceful  inattention  to  his  official  duties,  or  something 
worse,  the  false  recortl  (false  because  of  its  on>ission)  remains  as  it 
was.  If  any  soldier  would  think  this  too  severe,  the  adjt.-gen-

may  characterize  the  transaction  in  words  of  his  own  choosing, 
if  not  too  profane.* 

He  was  wonntled  again  at  Spottsylvania,  and  this  time  probably 
becanse  of  his  solicitude  to  save  the  regiment  from  unnecessary 
e.vposure.  It  was  late  in  the  battle  of  the  I'Jth  of  May.  The 
regiment  had  been  alternately  lighting  and  at  rest,  but  all  the 
time  more  or  less  exposed.  At  this  particular  time  it  was  upon 
the  to])  of  a  hill  at  the  edge  of  the  woods,  close  uj)  to  the  rebel 
line.  The  men,  although  flat  iipon  the  ground,  were  suffering 
severely  from  the  enemy's  tire.  The  adjutant  seeing  this,  rose 
u|)  and  went  to  Ca])tains  Tilton  and  Cogswell,  who  were  with 
him  on  the  hill,  and  .ather  nearer  to  him  than  ('a])tain  Dudley, 
who  was  then  in  eomnian<l,  told  iheui  they  were  losing  men  fast 
and  doing  nothing,  and  he  thought  the  regiment  should  either 
charge  upon  the  rebel  line,  or  else  be  removed  from  the  crest  of 
the  hill.  They  said  they  understood  (ienerai  (irittin's  order  was 
to  hold  that  ground  ;  to  which  he  re]»lied,  the  order  wa^•  to  hold  the 
groiuid  they  occupied  whe)i,  the  order  w<ts  ffiven,  which  was  a 
little  down  the  slo))e.  They  were  not  incliiu'd  to  interfere,  and 
he  lay  down  at  their  side.  A  moment  later  a  ball  struck  between 
the  two  ca])tains  (their  elbows  would  ahnost  touch).  "By 
Geovge!"  laid  Captain  C,  "this  is  ])retty  close  I  "  Another  mo- 
ment, a  loud  voice,  "Stop  firing!"  was  heard  at  their  left.  The 
adjutant  raised  up  upon  his  elbow  to  see  what  mischief  was 
brewing;  a  heavy  thud,  "  Oh,  I  am  shot!"  he  said,  and  passed 
iuiiuediately  a  short  distance  to  the  rear,  sup))osing  himself 
to  be  mortally  wounded.  He  thought  even  then  for  the  regi- 
ment, and  uj»on  Cai)tain  Dudley's  coming  to  him  he  strongly 
urged  him  to  at  once  withdraw  the  regiment  from  the  top  of 
the  hill,  which  lie  did,  and  then  detailed  men  to  carry  him 
to  the  surgeon.  The  ball  (a  mini(>)  was  buried  in  the  wall  of 
the  abdomen,  but  he  could  jiick  It  out  liimself,  and  now  pre- 
serves it  as  a  memento  of  Spottsylvania.f     He  was  carried  over  a

"Dear  Sir:  lu  reply  to  yours  of  yesterday  relative  to  the  omission  of 
the  fact  of  your  being  woundeil  at  the  battle  of  Fredericksburg,  in  my 
report  for  ISGfi,  I  have  to  say  that  at  tlie  time  of  the  correspondence  re- 
ferred to  in  yours,  I  instructed  my  then  chief  clerk,  (^apt.  Bacon,  to  note 
the  casualty  opposite  your  name  on  the  roster,  so  that  it  might  appeal  in 
my  report  for  18C6,  but  it  appears  tliat  he  neglectcil  to  do  so. 

"  I  regret  this  clerical  error,  and  sliould  I  pul)lish  any  corrections  in 
my  next,  I  will  not  fail  to  insert  this,  as  I  have  now  r.oted  it  on  the  books, 
and  taken  a  memorandum  of  it.

justice;  yet  I  do  not  expect  it  to  be  done,"  —  a  true  prophet! 

t  His  escape  was  a  narrow  one.  It  had  l)cen  raining,  ami  he  had  on 
Ills  overcoat.  The  ball  passed  through  the  cults  and  skirts  of  his  coats, 
and  through  his  pants  and  rtannels,  thus  breaking  its  force.  This  alone 
would  not  have  saved  him.     It  struck  a  brass  button,  by  which  its  course

to  rejoin  his  regiment,  and  arrived  in  eain]»  on  the  morning  of 
July  31,  the  day  after  the  battle  of  the  "Mine."  "I  am  glad  you 
were  not  here  yesterday,"  said  General  (irittin,  "for  you  could 
have  done  no  good,  and  would  have  been  likely  to  have  been 
hurt.'"  He  would  have  been  there  if  the  boat  had  not  left  half 
an  houreiirlier  than  usual,  by  whieh,  much  to  his  vexation  at  the 
time,  he  failed  of  a  j)assage.  Tlie  regiment  after  that,  though 
often  under  the  tire  of  batteries,  and  from  skirmishers  oeeasionally, 
Mas  in  no  jiitehed  battle  till  his  resignation,  lie  did  not  resign 
on  aceount  of  any  disability.  After  the  siege  of  Knoxville,  worn 
out  by  fatigue  and  exposure  and  privation,  he  was  four  weeks 
in  hos])ital,  and  if  this  sketeh  should  hapjjen  to  meet  Surgeon 
Crosby's  notice,  he  will  know  that  his  great  kindness  there  was 
aj)preeiated.  ]>ut  he  recovered,  ami  his  health  at  the  time  of  his 
resignation  was  unimpaired.  Tlie  pay  whieh  he  received  was  not 
.sufficient  for  his  supj)ort  with  those  dependent  upon  him.  J7iat 
was  not  the  moving  cause  of  his  resignation.  Colonel  Ilarriman, 
June  i"),  18l);>;  resigned  to  avoid  the  unpleasantness  of  a  court-

till  Feb.  -24,  lS(i4,  and  was  capture<l(y)  .May  C,  18(;4;  idtliough  ex- 
(^hanged  Sept.  12,  18(14,  he  did  not  return  to  his  regiment  till 
Is'ov.  20,  l>ti4.  iM.ijor  Farr,  soon  after  he  ma<le  his  charges, 
doubtless  with  his  own  consent,  was  detiiiled  to  serve  on  court- 
marti.'ils,  and  did  not  retm-n  to  his  regiment.*  Lieutenant-Colonel 
Collins  was  killed  ]May  •>.  From  that  time  the  adjut;uit,  in  the 
j)rime  of  life  (he  w:is  forty-five),  was  performing  duty  sonu'times 
to  one  captain,  st>nK'tinu's  to  another,  and  sometimes  to  a  strip- 
ling lieutenant,  and  indeed  the  most  of  the  time  from  June  5, 
1*03,  to  I'V'ii.  24,  1804,  the  regiment  was  under  a  captain.  When 
the  adjutant  cami'  lionu'  from  Anna])olis  Hospital,  after  he  was

eral  Ferrero,  his  hritiade  conunan(U'r,  desired  liini  to  desiifiiate 
officers  whom  lie  deemed  wortiiy  of  special  conunendation,  he  re- 
plied that  ho  could  not  distinnuish  Ix'tween  them;  and  conse- 
(piently  none  of  them  obtained  :iny  reconnnemlation  to  the 
superior  commander.  And  it  is  a  notal)le  fact,  that  besides  the 
colonel  himself,  and  two  lieutenants  who  were  at  briijadc  or  divis- 
ion headciuarters,  not  an  otlicer  of  his  reiriment  was  brevetted 
during  the  war.  'I'here  was  a  score  of  them  as  much  entitled,  to 
say  the  least,  as  himself,  if  "gallant  conduct"  were  the  test.  Hut 
to  return:  there  was  no  occasion  for  Adjutant  Morrison  to  remain 
ii8  adjutant,  for  there  was  an  excess  of  othcers  in  j)ropoi'tion  to 
men.  At  his  monthly  report  for  Auijust,  ]S(i4,  there  were  present 
for  duty  and  extra  duty  ;}.'!7  enlisted  men,  and  twenty  officers,  or 
one  officer  to  sixteen  men.  In  a  full  regiment,  the  projiortion  is 
one  in  twenty-six.  lie  had  remained  long  enough  t  to  show  his 
devotion  to  the  cause.  He  resigned,  and  younger  officers,  glad 
of  the  opportunity,  by  assignment,  discinirged  the  duties  of  adju- 
tant, but  no  other  person  was  ever  mustered  in  as  adjutant. 

He  for  the  third  time  entered  upon  the  practice  of  the  law, 
not  at  Nashua,  which,  for  six  years  preceding  his  entering  the  army, 
had  been  his  honu',  but  at  Manchester;  and  by  the  usual  courtesy 
was  called  Judge  Morrison,  excejtt  by  othcers  and  soldiers  of  the 
llth,  who  call  liim  Adjutant,  stiU.  \\  ithin  about  seven  years  of 
his  return,  he  jirejjared  and  published,  successively,  a  "Digest  of 
the  N.  H.  Reports,"  a  "Town  Officer,"  a  "Justice  an..  .Sheriff  and 
Attorney's  Assistant,"  a  "  Trobate  Directory,"  and  a  "Digest  of 
the  Laws  relating  to  Common  Schools."  Since  then  he  has  been 
engaged  as  other  lawyers,  as  occasion  requires. 

His  political  o])inions  were  definitely  formed  when  he  was  a  stu- 
dent-at-law,  and  from  careful  reading  ami  reflection.  His  views  of 
the  nature  of  our  complex  government  were  such  as  to  lead  him  to 
act  with  the  Democratic  party  unless,  as  was  sometimes  the  case,  the 
public  welfare  would  not,  in  his  judgment,  be  thereby  promoted; 
and  in  all  such  cases  he  did  not  hesitate  to  follow  his  own  convic- 
tions. To  friends  who  on  different  occasions  told  him  that  his 
independent  action  would  destroy  all  hope  of  advancement,  he 
replied  that  he  felt  bound  to  the  same  honesty  in  political  matters 
as  in  private  life  ;  from  that  rule  he  never  swerved.  They  were 
correct.  Political  office  he  did  not  seek,  ami  never  held.  He

counting  the  time  the  hitter  was  a  prisoi.er),  as  long  as  that  of  most  of

right.  And  wlicii  in  after  years,  in  llu'  kaloidoscojio  shifting  of 
courts,  appointnu'iits  were  to  he  tnacU',  he  was  too  much  of  a 
Democrat  to  he  appointed  as  a  Uepuhlican,  and  too  much  of  a 
llcpuhliean  to  he  appointed  as  a  Democrat.  Hut  one  who  would 
jireserve  iiis  integrity  and  inch'penthMiee  ;ind  self-respect,  must  he 
content  to  pay  tlieir  price.  And  is  the  price  too  great?  In  1S;}8, 
while  teaeliing  at  LittU'ton,  he  signed  a  petition  for  the  aholition 
of  slavery  in  the  District  of  Cohunhia,  and  gave  his  name  for 
memhership  in  a  society  for  the  aholition  of  slavery.  But  when 
P.'irker  I'illshury,  Thomas  C.  I'each,  and  others  in  convention  at 
that  place,  made  known  their  views  and  jmrposes,  he  withdrew 
his  name  as  a  memher,  and  ever  after  regarded  the  whole  Garrison 
school,  who  Avere  seeking  their  end  reckless  of  means  and  con- 
seciuenees,  as  enemies  of  their  country  ;ui(l  of  mankind.  Tliey 
have  since  heen  canonized !  lie  voted  for  Van  liuren  in  l!S4ll, 
for  Polk  in  1S44,  for  I'ieree  in  lSr)"2,  for  Jiuchanan  in  isrui,  for 
Douglass  in  IStiO  (in  1>S(J4  he  was  not  a  voter),  for  Seymoui-  in 
1S()8,  for  Greeley  in  lXl'2,  for  Tildcn  in  ISTd;  and  he  hopes  to 
live  to  vote  for  Hancock  in  18S0,  —  not  merely  or  prin<'ipally  for 
his  splendid  military  .-ichievements,  hut  for  his  clear  appreciation 
of  the  jtrineiples  of  our  constitutional  government,  and  devotion 
to  them,  lie  did  not  vote  for  Cass  in  IS48,  l)ut  hecause  of  his 
>i  icholson  letter,  spoke  and  voted  against  him,  and  for  Van  l>uren 
and  Adams.  lie  was  outs|>oken  in  his  condemnation  of  the 
repeal  of  the  Missouri  Comi)romise,  and  wrote;  an  earnest  letter 
to  his  cousin,  G.  W.  INIorrison,  then  in  Congress,  to  stand  firm  in 
his  opposition  to  it.  And  while  many  leading  Democrats  were 
hesitating,  or  hostile  to  the  use  of  force  for  the  jireservation  o1 
the  Union,  he  was,  from  the  tiring  of  the  Hrst  gun  u])on  Sumter, 
for  the  use  of  all  the  force  necessary  to  compel  suhmission  to  the 
constitution.  lie  did  not  vote  for  Jluhhard  for  governor  in 
1843,  because  of  his  Curry  letter  denying  the  constitutionality  of 
the  railroad  law.  He  voted  for  White  with  Isaac  Hill,  and  wrote 
an  article  in  Ilill's  i)aper  vindicating  the  law.  lie  did  not 
vote  for  Marcy  in  1870,  hut  because  of  the  "Senate  steal," 
and  its  endorsement  by  the  Democratic  convention,  stayed  away 
from  the  i)olls.  lie  wrote  against  the  reconstruction  acts  and 
other  measures  confessed  to  be  "outside  of  the  constitution"; 
and  being  called*  to  i)reside  at  the  Democratic  convention,  Feb. 
7,  1866,  in  his  opening  address,  denounced  Thad.  Stevens  as  a 
"hoary-headed  traitor."  He  could  not  understand  why  I'luon 
men,  any  more  than  Rebels,  should  be  i)ermitted  to  act  in  defiance 
of  their  Charter.  He  had  fought  to  uidiold  constitutional  govern- 
ment, not  to  create  a  desitotism.  On  the  other  hand,  while  the 
Democratic  ))arty  was  voting  solid  against  the  constitutional 
amendments,  he  wrote  an  article  in  tl>e  Manchester  Union  in 
favor  of  their  adoj)tion.     jSTevor   a  "  politician,"  and  rarely  at-

his  practice  has  conformed  to  them.  Fpon  the  great  (piestion  of 
every  maiTs  life,  he  was  serious  and  sohcr-mindcd  from  his  child- 
hood, never  prt)fane,  and  always  keeping  the  Sal)l>atli,  as  would 
be  expected  of  most  boys  with  such  a  jiarentage.  The  only  time 
his  father  talkc<l  with  hini  :i]oiic.  upon  the  subject  of  personal 
religion,  was  when  be  told  him  he  could  not  conceive  what  ///■>• 
feelings  were  when  he  saw  him  about  to  be  crushed  by  the  run- 
ning log,  and  no  satisfactory  evidence  of  his  being  piH'pared  to 
die.  But  it  was  not  until  he  was  at  Newbury  Seminary  that  he 
was  strongly  moved.  He  was  brought  to  death's  door  while  there 
by  typhoid  fever,t  and  when  he  recovered  from  it  remembered

he  found  light,  but  rt'lapsing  into  doubt  and  iiidifferenee,  and 
engaging  more  earnestly  ill  his  studies.  He  had  been  observed, 
ami  the  principal,  I\[r.  Adams,  came  to  his  room.  "Morrison,

the  views  which  he  liad  advocated.  Two  days  after  he  was  interviewed 
with  others  at  Maneliester  hy  the  correspondent  of  the  Boston  associateil 
press,  as  to  his  views  of  the  electoral  coUej^e  hill,  with  the  result  tele- 
{iraphetl :  "Tlie  lirst  yentleman  interviewed  was  Hon.  Charles  H.  Mor- 
rison, a  loading  lawyer  of  the  State,  who  has  given  the  subject  inui'li

the  Daily  Union  on  the  coniplicated  questions  growing  out  of  the  presi- 
<lential  contest.  He  is  a  Democrat  of  long  standing,  ami  is  op|)osed  to 
tlu!  lirst  section  of  the  bill.  ...  He  was  also  opposed  to  the  feature 
adding  the  supreme  court."  In  atldition  to  objections  thus  stateil, 
Judge  itlorrison  telegraphed  and  wrote  to  Speaker  i{aiulall  his  fears,  that 
by  the  bill,  as  frameil,  there  could  be,  or  would  be,  no  going  behind  the 
returns  to  iiKiuire  into  frauds  and  irregularities.  But  the  Statu  com- 
mittee, ou  tlie  otlier  hand,  telegraphed  to  the  N.  II.  delegation  to  sustain 
tlie  l)ill. 

t  He  was  sinking  after  the  fever  left  him.  His  father  i)ut  him  upon  a 
bed  in  a  carriage,  gave  him  some  brandy  or  other  si)irit,  ami  drove  fast  to 
his  liome.  Dr.  French,  the  family  physician,  was  waiting.  He  trieil  his 
skill,  but  no  use.  He  then  reluctantly  consented  to  the  use  of  stimulants, 
first  wine,  which  had  no  effect,  and  then  West  Iiulia  rum,  which  ilid  the 
business.  The  patient  used  it  until  one  day  he  staggered  a  little  from  its 
eficct,  wlien  the  wise  doctor  said,  "Cut  olf  the  tap!  I  luul  rather  he 
should  (lie  now  than  die  a  drunkard."  They  ilid  cut  olf  the  tap,  for  which 
the  patient  has  often  been  grateful.

so.  A  few  months  after  he  unite(l  with  the  Congregational

of  some  ehureh  of  that  denomination  in  the  place  of  his  residence. 
I'pon  presenting  himself  for  admission,  he  told  the  church  that

deat'.  will  keep  on  sinning,  and  therefore  will  always  suffer.  Isow

when  small,  placed  one  sumnu'r  in  the  family  of  Dercon  Marrett, 
of  I''ranconia.  fie  was  a  saintly  man,  of  good,  strong  eomnion- 
sonse,  hut  with  pecidiarities  of  manner.  He  was  lame  and  limp- 
ing fro!n  a  wound  rt'ceiv<'d  in  the  sirviee  of  liis  country;  illiter- 
ate and  ui. grammatical  from  the  want  of  early  ailvantages;  and 
he  had  the  tone  peculiar  to  tin-  Freewill  J>a]ttistH  in  some  sections, 
formerly.  As  (ieorge  was  a  smart,  handsome,  sprightly  hoy,  and 
tin-  worthy  couple  had  no  childn  n  and  were  in  good  circum-

of  the  good  deacon  to  perfection  ;  and  his  sister  j"\Iary,  laugiiing 
and  h.alf  ci-ying,  put  (h)wn  her  foot,  which,  if  small,  was  heavy, 
that  he  shoidd  not  go  hack  ;  and  he  never  <lid,  much  to  the  grief 
of  the  old  eon|)le.  I  lis  father  t;, light  him  his  trade;  and  with  n

about  as  many  years,  and  i.i  the  same  localities,  a  deptity  sheriff. 
With    less   of  streiig'h    ami    physical    power,    he   had    all    of    his

ot  criminals,  from  jpetty  thieves  to  munlcrers,  and  never  ha<l  a

had  the  oversight  of  an  excellent  farm,  carried  on  by  his  tenants, 
and  has  been  eng.aged  in  stock-raising,  and  business  connected 
with  legal  proceedings.  He  is  at  the  )»resent  time  judge  of

*  Dr.  J.-B.  Morrison,  of  Maryvill(,',  Mo.,  writes,  April  l!l,  18S0;  "There 
muxt  1)0  ill  existeiKie  a  number  of  letters  tlnit  (iabiiel  received  from  his 
friends  in  Ireland,  thou^^h  I  h;ive  l)een  unable  to  llnd  them.  Some  of  the 
coiiiHctions  speak  pretty  positively  in  support  of  the  tradition  thnl/nxr 
brotlun's  eaiue  from  Ireland  tojrether,  and  the  name  of  Alexander  is  lueii- 
tioued  as  one  of  them.  Hobert  (?)  and  .lames  (V)  are  also  mentioned 
witli  some  doubt.  I  am  inclined  to  the  belief  that  Alexiiuder  Morison, 
who  lived  in  New  London,  Chester  Co.,  I'a.,  and  whose  will  is  recorded 
in  West  Chester  Will  Hook  1),  Vol.  IV,  p.  (;0i»,  was  a  brother  to  Gabriel. 
Alixandrr  is  u  eouimon  name  in  our  branch  of  the  family.  .An  aciimiiut- 
aiiee  used  to  say  that  lie  '  could  not  un  out  in  a  d;irk  nii^ht  without  run- 
ning against  an  Alexiinder  Morison."" 

i  The  McClellans  were  related  to  President  Buchanan.

made  him  heir  to  most  of  his  property  and  the  executor  of  Ids

intended  him  for  a  lawyer,  and  he  regretted  deeply  that  he  had 
not  chosen  a  profession  when  young.  Pie  was  a  farmer,  and  dur- 
ing most  of  his  life  ke])t  a  fine  team  of  four  or  six  horses,  with 
which  he  did  a  great  amount  of  teaming.  He  was  a  strong  man,

in  the  ]Middle  Octorara  Preshyterian  Church,  and  siilisc((Uently  in 
the  Union  I'resbyterian  Church.  His  character  was  spotless,  and 
lie  was  generous  to  a  fault.  His  liherality  was  ii  hinderance 
to  his  accuinulatiou  of  ])roperty.  He  was  too  ready  to  go  as 
security  for  the  man  who  would  ask  him,  and  would  lose  a  deht 
rather  than  sue  for  it. 

He  was  an  excellent  reasoner,  and  well  informed  in  theology 
and  law.  His  reasoning  Was  always  tem])ered  with  justice,  ami 
so  he  was  often  called  ujion  to  arbitrate  u])on  differences  Itetween 
parties  in  his  neighborhood.  An  o]»inion  was  never  adopted  l)y 
him  because  it  was  jiromiilgated  by  a  great  man,  but  was  ])ut  to 
the  test  of  reason.  Being  firm  in  his  ojiinions,  he  was  still  o))en 
to  conviction  when  weightier  reasons  were  jtresented. 

In  ]iolitics  lie  was  a  whig;  and  wlien  that  jiarty  died,  he  l)ecanie 
a  rejiublican.  A  relative  remembers  seeing  liim  in  tears  over  the 
defeat  of  Henry  Clay  for  the  Presidency  in  1844.  He  was  an 
aiitislavery  man,  l)ut  not  an  abolitionist.  While  considering 
slavery  an  evil,  and  kiunving  that  it  existed  by  virtue  of  State 
laws,  he  held  that  we  as  a  nation  had  no  right  to  interfere  with 
it,  except  to  create  a  ])ublic  sentiment  in  favor  of  its  abolition. 
He  believed  that  the  time  would  come  when  it  would  be  wii)ed 
out  of  existence,  and  he  lived  to  see  the  day. 

Like  his  friend  Thaddeus  Stevens,  he  was  the  friend  of  the  poor 
and  the  opjtressed.  In  his  daily  life  he  carried  out  the  ]»rinciples 
inculcated  in  the  IStli  chapter  of  1st  Corinthians.  He  died  the 
death  of  the  Christian,  Sunday  morning,  Sej)t.  8,  187li,  and  was 
buried  at  the  cemetery  at  Union  Presbyterian  Church,  Coleraine, 
Lancaster  Co.,  Pa. 

He  married  iMargaret  ]\IcCahnmont*  (now  spelled  McCoinmon), 
Nov.  27,  1823  ;  born  Nov.  7,  1801,  and  who  is  still  living.  She 
is  the  daughter  of  .Tamest  and  Elizabeth  J  (Patterson)  ]\lcCalm- 
niont,  of  Coleraine,  Lancaster  Co.,  Pa. 

*  Of  the  "calm  mountain." 

t  Jiuncs  was  son  of  Siimucl  McCalmmant,  who  ciime  from  the  nortli  of 
Ireland.  James  was  born  Nov.  riO,  17(!3;  died  June  23,  18r)3,  in  his  !)Oth 
year,  and  was  much  respected.  His  father,  Samuel  McCalmmant,  m. 
AloUie  Larimer,  daughter  of  James  Larimer,  of  Drumore,  Lancaster  Co., 
Pa. 

J  Elizabeth  was  the  dauirhter  of  John  and  Peggy  (McElhenney)  Pat- 
tersou.     She  died  Oct.  0,  l»4lt,  aged  78  yrs.

^''  liev.  ll.-E.  Morrison.  —  One  of  our  most  prominent  citizens 
depai-ted  this  life  on  Saturday  morning.  Rev.  Robert-E.  Morri- 
son was  ])robably  as  widely  known  as  any  member  of  the  confer- 
ence to  which  lie  belongs,  and  has  been  thorouglily  identitied  with 
the  growth  and  history  of  Hightstown  for  a  (juarter  of  a  century. 
We  learn  that  he  was  born  in  Lancaster,  Pa.,  in  A.  I).  180(), 
entered  the  ministry  in  1833,  and  labored  in  that  w^ork  at  Chester,

and,  tai<ing  ii  sn|)i'iiinnii;!tcd  relation,  lie  removed  to  Ilij;litsto-\\  ii 
in  1847.  As  a  minister,  the  active  life  t»t'  ]\Ir.  JMonison  was  ;i 
remarkahly  snccesst'nl  one.  From  ])ersonal  obsei'vation  on  some 
of  Ids  fornuT  fields,  esjiecially  that  kiunvn  as  the  Swedeshoro' 
circuit,  which  com|irised  !i  l.'ii'n'e  teiritory  and  ten  churches,  wo 
know  that  he  was  a  very  useful  jiastor,  and  has  left  Itehind  him 
Aci'y  abundant  results.  Several  |ironnnent  miinsters  date  their 
conversion  from  his  preachiiiy-.  J  lis  lai'U'est  salary  was  Allif)  ]ier 
annum.  After  his  removal  to  Jlightstown,  he  entered  into  busi- 
ness, and  was  at  one  time  ju'esident  of  tlie  Central  ]>ank,  but  in 
Ills  later  yi'ars  he  relin(|nislied  all  business  matters  exee|it  the  care 
and  imjirovement  of  his  ]iroj)erty.  He  had  (jnite  a  <;i'eat  deal 
to  do  with  the  laying  out  of  a  ])urtion  of  our  borough,  and  one 
of  the  ])rinci]ial  streets  bears  his  name.  AVliile  at  Ocean  Grove, 
in  the  summer  of  1S7'2,  he  was  stricken  with  jiaralysis,  since 
winch  time  he  has  been  entirely  lieljdess  and  almost  totally 
speechless,  but  retained  the  full  ]iossession  of  his  mental  ]K)wors 
and  suffered  comjiaratively  little  jiain.  A  dominant  will  and  a 
remarkable  mental  vigor  seemed  to  hold  <leatli  at  l)ay,  until  last 
AVodnesday,  when  he  commenced  to  sink  ra]>idly,  and  died  on 
Saturday  morning.  It  is  during  the  last  year  of  liis  life  that  we 
belit've  he  has  been  able  to  accom])lish  more  tlnni  ever  Ijefore  to 
make  his  memory  cherished.  As  an  e.\ani])le  of  the  exercise  of 
Christian  virtues  under  the  severest  trials,  his  later  life  was  re- 
markable. About  a  year  ago  he  lost  almost  all  ])owers  of  motion, 
and  since  that  time  has  only  been  able  to  s]teak  a  word  at  long 
intervals,  but  in  the  midst  of  liis  seeming  liel])lessness,  he  has 
l)een  remarKablv  upheld  bv  the  Master  in  whom  he  trusted.  His 
faith  never  wavered,  his  courage  never  gave  way,  and  by  feeble 
signs  and  Avitli  palsied  utterance  he  was  always  exjiressing  his 
lioi)es  and  exjiectations.  I'nable  to  ]»reacli  hijuself,  his  house  luis 
for  years  been  tlie  itinerant's  home,  and  liis  heart  lias  been  in  the 
work.  "We  )»en  these  lines  away  from  home,  when  a  brief  dis- 
jiatcli  is  all  the  tidings  Ave  have  of  his  death.  We  knoAV  notliing 
of  tlie  details  of  his  latest  moments,  but  have  no  doubt  that  the 
good  old  man  jiassed  away, — 

'Sustiiined  iuul  soothed  l)y  an  uufalteriiijn'  trust, 
Like  one  who  wraps  tlie  drapery  of  his  coutli 
About  him,  uiul  lies  clown  to  pleasant  dreams.' "

"thk  MOimisoxs, 

Si>  far  as  I  am  acfiuainted  with  tiiem,  have  always  been  noted 
for  their  liberality,  generosity,  and  general  kindness  of  heart, 
as  well  as  for  their  eonunon-sense,  good  judgment,  and  practi- 
cability. They  have  borne  the  reputation  of  being  people  who 
act  from  pure  motives  as  far  as  it  is  possible  for  erring  mortals 
so  to  act.  There  may  be  exceptions,  and  it  would  be  singular 
if  there  were  not. 

"The  Scotch-Irish  are  peculiarly  fond  of  wit,  humor,  and  fun 
in  general,  l)ut  especially  of  out-door  sports  and  games ;  and  I 
was  delighted  when  I  read,  a  few  years  since,  in  'Greeley's  Rec- 
ollections of  a  Busy  Life,'  the  account,  on  page  27,  of  the  peculi- 
arities of  the  settlers  in  Kew  Hampshire;  for  it  vividly  recalled 
the  scenes  o*'  my  childhood.  Our  settlement  along  the  'beautiful 
Octorara'  was  an  exact  duplicate  of  the  New  IIam])shii'e  settle- 
ment written  of  by  Mr.  (ireeley. 

"The  house-raisings,  corn-huskings,  apple-butter  boilings,  stone- 
pickings,  etc.,  together  with  the  games  attending  them,  such  as 
leap-frog,  hide-aiul-seek,  throwing  fifty-six  pound  weights,  etc., 
and,  I  had  almost  forgotten  to  mention  the  family  worship,  often 
including  a  long  hymn  or  psalm,  with  a  slow  tune.  But  however 
tedious  or  useless  it  may  have  seemed  at  the  time,  I  am  now 
persuaded  that  these  very  habits  of  family  worship  have  done 
more,  and  do  more,  to  bind  our  hearts,  our  affections,  to  our 
jtarents,  brothers,  and  sisters,  to  our  religion  and  our  God,  than 
all  the  other  and  ])leasing  scenes  of  our  cliildhood.  The  Scotch- 
Irish  should  never  give  u])  this  excellent  custom."

Scotch.  He  related  to  his  grandson,  John  Morrison,  the  follow- 
ing incident  of  the  struggle.  He  (Samuel)  was  attacked  by  seven 
furious  Irishmen,  and  his  only  weapon  of  defence  was  a  pitch-

Society  of  Anti(|uaries  of  Scotland,  in  a  ])ainphlet  entitled  "Tra- 
ditions of  the  Morrisons,  Hereditary  Judges  of  Lewis,"  brings 
the  history  of  the  Morrisons  down  to  lOi;].  The  biographer, 
Leonard  A.  JNIorrison,  Esq.,  from  that  period  brings  tlie  history 
and  genealogy  of  the  descendants  down  to  1880. 

I  take  it  that  the  persecutions  in  Ireland  and  Scotland  in  the 
latter  part  of  the  seventeenth  century  drove  the  Delaware  branch 
of  the  family  to  America.  From  1600  to  1700,  upon  the  author- 
ity of  W.  K.  Hayward,  Commissioner  of  Land  Ottice  of  Maryland, 
as  learned  from  the  list  preserved  in  the  State's  paper  dej)artment 
of  London,  there  were  but  two  persons  who  emigrated  to  Virginia 
and  Maryland ;  these  were  Richard  Morrison,  cajitain  of  Castle 
of  Point  Comfort,  and  Robert  JNIorrison,  the  latter  in  1635. 

The  progenitor  of  the  Delaware  branch  was  Hans,  or  John, 
Morrison.  I  assume  that  Hans,  or  John,  Morrison,  either  in  the 
old  country  or  in  this,  through  his  mother,  was  connected  with 
the  early  Dutch  colonists ;  as  in  the  troubles  between  tlie  Swe- 
dish settlers  of  DelaAvare  and  the  Hollanders  during  the  period 
from  1640  to  1655,  his  citizenship  was  not  disturbed.  In  1670, 
six  years  after  the  Duke  of  York  claimed  the  settlements  in  Del- 
aware as  his,  Hans,  or  John,  Morrison  entered  a  tract  of  land  on 
Whiteclay  Greek,  within  New  Castle  County,  which  said  tract  of 
land  is  now  held  in  1880  by  a  lineal  descendant  of  the  said  John 
Morrison  of  the  seventh  generation.  The  patent  record  in  the 
land  office  at  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  sets  forth  the  date  of  this  entry. 
The  writer  knows  naught  of  the  children  of  John  Morrison,  save 
of  Hugh  Morrison  his  son,  and  of  Neal  Morrison  his  grandson, 
the  ancestors  of  the  line  of  the  family  traced  in  this  pai)er. 
During  the  Revolutionary  war  the  family  homes  were  in  the  line 
of  march  of  the  British  army,  wlien  their  goods  and  much  of  the 
family  records  were  destroyed.  Neal  Uorrison,  the  father  of 
Robert,  was  one  of  the  purchasers  of  the  site,  and  one  of  the

f<illowinu;  facts  in  reuard  to  the  life  and  work  of  the  Kev.  Oeo. 
3Iorrison.  He  pursut'd  his  classical  studies  under  the  I'ev.  Dr. 
liiissell,  pi'incipal  of  the  Newark  Ac.'ulemy  and  pastor.  In  1H;)7, 
his  classical  preceptor,  Dr.  IJiissell,  from  Ins  pulpit  at  "NVhiteclay 
Creek  church,  paid  a  hin'h  tribute  to  the  character  and  work  of 
his  pupil.  This  discourse  was,  forty  years  afterwards,  j>ul)lished 
in  the  "Presbyterian  Weekly"  of  T>altimore.  ]\Ir.  ^Morrison 
studied  theology  with  the  Kev.  Dr.  Samuel  ]Martin,  of  Chance- 
ford,  York  Co.,  Pa.,  one  of  the  most  distinguished  men  of  his 
generation,  lie  was  licensed  as  a  l*resbyterian  minister  in  L^'ili 
l)y  the  Xew  Castle  Presbytery.  In  ll^"J4,  having  had,  for  tlie  tMo 
years  previous,  charge  of  the  Belair  Classical  Academy,  where 
he  educated  some  wlio  afterwards  1)ecame  distinguished  among 
the  citizens  of  Maryland,  he  was  transferred,  by  order  of  the 
synod,  from  New  Castle  to  the  Baltimore  Presbytery.  In  182l!, 
lie  was  called  to  the  charge  of  the  lU-tbel  church  in  Harford 
County,  and  about  this  time  also  jjurchased  a  farm  in  Baltimore 
County  at  8weet  Aire,  at  Avhich  jdace  he  shortly  afterwards 
established  a  classical  boarding-school,  which  he  conducted  in 
conjunction  Avith  his  ministerial  lal)ors  at  IJethel  and  other  points 
in  Baltimore  and  Harford  Counties.  vXniong  these  j>reaching 
])olnts  were,  Swjet  Aire,  where  is  now  located  the  Chestnut 
Grove  church  ;  also  in  the  vicinity  of  Cockeysville,  at  the  liouse 
of  William  Jessuj),  near  which  jioint  has  grown  n])  the  Ashland 
church ;  on  Deer  Creek,  the  North  Bend  Presbyterian  ciuiroh  ; 
also  at  Franklinville  and  Jielair,  in  connection  with  the  Kev. 
Will.  Finney.  In  fact,  by  him  and  his  distinguished  Presbyterian 
associates,  the  Rev.  Drs.  Nevins,  John  and  Kobert  J.  Breckinridge, 
Dr.  Geo.  Musgrave  and  Dr.  Hamner,  it  Avas,  that  in  Baltimore 
and  the  refjion  aronnd  that  centre,  the  seeds  of  so  nianv  future 
church  organizations  were  sown.  Mr.  Morrison,  alter  a  success- 
ful and  arduous  ministry  of  fifteen  years,  died  at  the  age  of  forty. 
Through  his  entire  ministry  he  continued  pastor  of  the  Bethel 
church  in  IIartV)rd  County.  He  died  at  his  farm-home  at  Sweet 
Aire,  in  Baltimore  County,  near  Baltimore,  and  his  remains  are 
interred  in  the  graveyard  of  Bethel,  an  old  and  historic  church

the  Rev.  Dr.  Arehihald  Alexander,  Kev.  Dr.  .Faiiies  MeGraw,  Hev. 
Win.  Finney,  and  Kev.  Dr.  Samuel  Martin,  his  theologieal  pre- 
ceptor. Dr.  Martin,  in  the  discourse  |)reac-iied  at  Bethel  ehurch, 
at  rciiuc'st  of  the  conyren'ation,  after  Mr.  Morr'son's  decease,  thus 
speaks  of  him.  We  (|Uote  from  the  discourse  as  ])ul)!islied  in  the 
"Literary  and  Iieli<fious  Magazine'''  of  Jialtimore,  of  April,  1838. 

"  The  friend  whose  demise  1ms  siveii  occiision  to  tliis  mcetiiijj  was,  in  tlie 
estimation  o!"  tliose  wlio  knew  iiim,  and  wlio  iciiew  tlie  people  of  this 
|)lace,  pecniiarly  furuisluHl  for  doinir  ijootl  anionic  yon.  His  simplicity  of 
manner;  liis  lionesty  and  candor;  liis  inlej^rity,  iiis  lldelity.  Ills  c(Mistancy 
in  friendsliip,  opened  every  lieart  to  receive  liim  witliont  Jealousy  or 
suspicion.  No  nnin  of  wliatever  Christian  name  conld  wiUiliold  from 
him  the  hand  of  Ijrotherly  att'ection,  nor  wish  liim  ill  success.  His  o|)en, 
expressive:  countenance  l)eamed  love  upon  yon  with  every  lilance.  If  lie 
had  an  enemy,  he  nmst  have  been  a  man  whose  heart  breathed  wralli 
upon  worth  and  virtue,  and  wliose  malice  was  hh  praise.  In  his  intci'- 
eonrse  with  you  in  your  families,  he  was  peculiiuiy  attractive;  in  his 
teachinji  from  house  to  house,  a  duty  whicli  lie  i)erforniecl  witli  nuich 
delight,  he  was  pn)(ital)le  beyond  what  is  connnon.  His  pulpit  perform- 
ances were  plain  and  serii)tin'al,  wre  adapted  to  instruct  liis  hearers. 
His  discourses  were  always  deliv.j'ed  with  an  earnestness  and  warmth 
whicli  showed  the  ileep  sense  which  he  Inul  of  his  solemn  station  as 
stamling  up  in  Christ's  stead,  and  entreatin,!;  siime.s  that  they  be  recon- 
ciled to  Goti.  His  compassion  for  the  perishiiii;;  around  him  often  flowed 
forth  from  his  mouth  in  tones  so  nieltinj;  that  his  precious  people  could 
not  but  commix  their  souls  with  his  in  warm  entreaties  at  tin;  throne  of 
grace  in  their  behalf.  The  fruit  of  his  labors  among  you  for  the  time  he 
has  been  spared  over  you,  has  been  such  as  to  furnish  to  you  all  matter 
of  praise  to  Him  that  set  him  over  you.  I  know  not  the  numl)ev,  but  I 
am  fully  persuaded  that  there  are  many  who  will  ever  piaise  and  bless 
Jehovah's  name  for  sending  this  his  servant  to  warn  and  entreat  them  to 
come  to  Christ,  whom  lie  otl'ers  full  and  free  the  unspeakable  gift  of  GotI 
to  guiltj'  men.  He  was  a  pure  old-style  adherent  to  the  doctrine  and 
order  of  the  Presbyterian  church  as  plainly  stated  in  its  standards.  He 
kncAV  no  sophistry.  The  metaphysics  of  the  Bible  were  all  the  metapliys- 
ics  lie  ever  studied,  and  all  his  pride  was  spent  in  understanding  them. 
His  preaching  was  'not  with  the  enticing  words  of  man's  wisdom,  but  in 
demonstration  of  the  spirit  and  of  power.'"

"  MoKUisox,  Gkohok,  Presbyterian  minister,  and  editor  of  the  'Pres- 
byterian Weekly,'  Baltimore,  Md.,  was  born  at  Sweet  Air,  Baltimore  Co., 
Jan.  30,  1831.  After  a  thorough  preparatory  education  under  the  instruc- 
tion of  the  Ucv.  Prof.  Stephen  Yerkes,  d.  d.,  now  of  Danville  Theological 
Sennnary,  of  Kentucky,  the  subject  of  this  sketch  entered  Princeton 
College,  whence  hi;  graduated  in  1852.  Though  in  early  life  having  a 
great  andiition  to  be  a  farmer,  he  established,  in  the  autumn  of  the  year 
of  his  graduation  from  Princeton,  a  classical  school  at  Sweet  Air,  which 
proved  to  be  a  successful  stej).  In  1854,  he  was  elected  principal  of  the 
Baltimore  City  College,  which  position  lie  held  until  1857,  the  board  of 
school  commissioners  on  the  occasion  of  his  resignation  passing  resolu- 
tions highly  complimentary  to  the  faithful  and  eflicient  manner  in  which 
lie  iierformed  his  duties.  The  same  year  he  removed  to  Danville,  Ky.,  to 
study  theology  at  the  Danvil'e  Theological  Seminary,  and  in  1800  was 
licensed  by  the  Baltimore  Presljytery  to  preach  the  gospel.  After  travel- 
ling for  some  months  in  the  States  west  of  the  Mississippi  River,  he,  in 
the  autumn  of  1800,  accei)ted  the  charge  of  a  church  at  Cynthiana,  Ky., 
where  he  remained  until  the  close  of  the  civil  war.  In  18(i5  his  wife  died, 
and  in  the  spring  of  tliat  year  he  resigned  his  Kentucky  charge  to  assume 
the  charge  of  the  First  Presl)yterian  church  at  Terre  Haute,  Ind.,  the 
duties  of  which  he  entered  upon  in  the  winter  of  1800.  During  his  Ken- 
tucky residence  he  adhered  to  the  federal  government  in  all  of  its 
struggles  for  unity  and  integrity,  and  was  an  occasional  contributor  to 
the  secular  and  religious  press.  lie  remained  in  charge  of  the  church  at 
Terre  Haute  until  the  spring  of  1870;  and  whilst  there,  in  addition  to  his 
jiastoral  work,  contributed  to  the  '  Herald  and  Presl)yter,'  performed  con- 
■  iderable  missionary  and  educational  w-ork  for  his  presbytery  and  synod, 
and  paid  oil"  the  debt  of  the  church-building  at  Terre  Haute.  In  1870,  he 
resignetl  the  above  charge,  with  a  view  to  return  to  the  bounds  of  the 
Baltimore  Presbytery.  In  1807,  Mr.  Morrison  was  a  member  of  the 
General  Assembly  of  his  church  at  Cinciuuati ;  and  during  the  same  year 
at  Indiauapolis,  at  the  Joint  meeting  of  the  synods  of  Indiana,  he  delivered 
a  forcible  and  eloquent  address  on  the  reunion  of  the  Presbyterian  church, 
which  was  published  in  full  in  the  '  Indiauapolis  Journal,'  and  widely 
circulated.  For  a  few  months  before  liis  return  to  Maryland,  he  supplied 
a  church  at  Sliipman,  Macoupin  Co.,  111.  In  1872,  he  accepted  a  call  to 
the  Bethel  church  of  Harford  Co.,  Md.,  still  retaining  his  residence  in 
Baltimore.  In  1873,  he  became  editor  and  one  of  the  proprietors  of  the 
'  Presbyterian  Weekly '  of  Baltimore.     In  May  of  1875,  he  was  appointed

by  the  rrc.sl)ytery  of  Baltimore  to  represent  them  in  the  General  Assembly 
which  Silt  at  Clevelaml,  O.  In  1870,  he  resijfiied  his  charge  of  the  Bethel 
cluirch  to  assume  that  of  the  Grove  chnrch,  Harford  County.  From  I'^C.O 
until  tlie  present  time,  Mr.  Morrison  has  been  prominently  identified  with 
the  questions  that  att'eet  the  inte^^rity  of  the  Presbyterian  church.  His 
father,  George  Morrison,  was  a  l'resl)yterian  minister  who  from  1822  to 
18;i7  preached  in  Baltimore  and  Harford  Counties.  He  was  an  accom- 
plished classical  teaclier,  his  reputation  as  such  extending  throughout 
the  State.  His  wife,  tlie  mother  of  (ieorgc  Morrison  the  younger,  was 
Eliza  Millington  liOvell.  The  graudfatlier  of  tlie  subject  of  this  sketch 
was  Douglass  Morrison,  who  died  at  his  farm  near  Wliiteday  Creek 
Presbyterian  cluirch  in  New  Castle  Co.,  Del.  He  was  an  elder  in  tiiat 
church,  as  were  his  fatiier  and  graudfatlier.  Several  generations  of  the 
Morrison  family,  from  1711,  are  interreil  in  tlie  cemetery  of  the  above 
cliurch.  Mr.  Morrison's  maternal  grandfather  was  William  Novell,  from 
Loudon,  who  settled  in  Baltimore  in  tlie  early  part  of  tlie  iircsent  century. 
In  August  of  1850,  Mr.  Morrison  was  married  liy  the  Rev.  Dr.  Robert  .1. 
Breckinridge,  to  his  daugliter,  Sally  Caniphell  Breckiuridgf,  at  Braedal- 
bane,  near  Lexington,  Ky.  Slie  dying  in  1805  he  married  the  second 
time,  Feiirnary,  1875,  Maggie  Regester,  daughter  of  Joshua  Regester,  of 
Baltimore.  Mr.  Morrison  is  a  gentleman  of  great  force  of  cliaracter  and 
marked  inilividuality,  and  is  one  of  the  alihist  ministers  in  the  Presby- 
terian church."

said,  taken  i)art  in  'The  llisiiiif  of  Fiftt'cn,'  as  it  was  callod  in 
tilt'  Jlio'hlands,  canic  over  from  .VUfrdc'cnshirc,  Scotland,  where 
he  resided,  passing  through  the  Jii'wis,  which  he  regardt'il  as  the 
cradle  of  his  race,  and  settled  in  the  north  of  Ireland,  thus  avoid- 
ing the  unj)leasant  consequeiu-es  of  having  taken  part  in  that 
affair. 

"lie  came  to  Callagary,  Tyrone  Co.,  Ireland,  and  there  married 
a  Miss  Hamilton,  the  descendants  of  whose  family  have  since 
held  seats  in  the  House  of  Commons  u]i  to  the  year  1.S79.  A 
sister  of  this  Miss  Hamilton  married  a  Colonel  Archdall,  who 
was  an  ancestor  of  the  present  Archdalls  of  Fermanagh  in  Ire- 
land. This  Colonel  Archdall  entered  into  a  lawsuit  with  his 
brother-in-law,  ^Vndrew  ^Morrison,  for  some  property  al)out  which 
there  was  a  dispute  between  the  two  sisters.  The  detrision  of  the 
court  being  in  favor  of  Mr.  Morrison,  an  a))peal  was  made,  and 
again  was  the  decision  given  in  favor  of  the  latter.  Another 
aj)peal  was  then  made,  and  once  more  Morrison  gained  a  victory 
over  liis  brother-in-law ;  but  the  cost  of  these  three  lawsuits  was 
so  enormous,  that  the  leading  lawyer  of  the  winning  side,  who 
was  not  an  honest  man,  charged  the  estate  with  such  a  heavy  bill 
to  defray  expenses,  that  it  was  sold,  and  the  sale  financiallj^  ruined 
Mr.  Morrison.  He  was  a  n;an  of  very  violent  tenijier,  as  was 
j)roved  by  the  fact  that  he  once  struck  a  num  in  court,  and  when 
asked  iiis  reason  for  doing  so,  rej)lied,  '  J/y  Lord^  ha  trod  on  my 
corns.''  At  another  time  he  knocked  a  man  down  in  the  street 
for  attempting  to  take  the  wall  side  of  him. 

"  He  was  a  gentleman  by  birth,  education,  and  profession,  which 
latter  was  that  of  arms.  The  branch  of  the  Ilamiltons  to  which 
his  wife  belonged,  at  that  time  took  its  place  amongst  the  aris- 
tocracy of  the  kingdom,  and  indeed  retains  the  same  in  the 
present  day.  The  ))roperty  which  came  into  his  possession  in 
the  north  of  Ireland,  and  which  he  afterwards  lost,  is  now,  or

was  not  many  yoars  aj^o,  owned  liy  the  son  of  a  ci'itain  Sir  Jolm 
Stuart,  in  tlic  County  of  Tyrone.  Sonic  years  after  his  di'atli, 
two  I'entlenKii  came  over  from  Setitland,  and  nrixed  Ids  "jrandson 
to  claim  a  Uaronetcy,  to  which  they  asserted  lie  was  the  heir  as 
the  re|irescntative  of  Sir  Alexander  Morrison,  Hart.,  of  I'reston 
(Jranjjfe,  in  Scotland,  whose  daughter  Helen  married  Sir  Jidin 
TJiddell,  Ijart.  riiesc  j;entlemcn  said  that  they  hail  traced 
Andrew,  who  had  left  Scotland,  and  cut  himst'lf  off  from  his 
people,  with  Avhtnn  ho  must  liave  (|uarrelU'd,  without  ^ivinu;  them 
any  idea  of  what  had  hecome  of  him  after  the  suppression  of  the 
risiii<jj  of  171;"),  but  they  atlirmed  that  Andrew's  representative 
was  heir  to  the  baronetcy,  Hans  3Iorrison,  who  was  at  that  timo 
in  this  position,  was  too  poor  to  jnit  forward  claims  to  a  title 
which  ivas  then  in  alieyance,  owiiiy'  to  iynorance  of  existenc"  of 
direct  male  issue.  It  nii<i;ht,  however,  be  yet  revived,  if  the 
present  represi'ntative,  who  is  Krskine  ^Morrison,  Ksq.,  of  11 
Xr'wstead  Koad,  Ibirnt  .Vsh  Hill,  Lee,  Kent,  Knuland,  choose  to 
exert  himself  suHiciently  to  have  this  done.  This  Andrew  Mor- 
rison had  four  children  after  his  marriajio  with  Miss  Hamilton. 
One  of  these  was  a  son  n.amed  H.'ins,  which  was,  and  still  is,  a 
common  Christian  name  in  the  Hamilton  family.  This  Hans 
Morrison  married  a  ]\[iss  Erskine,  and  by  her  had  thri'O  sons, 
whose  names  were  P^rskine,  Hans,  and  Ah'xander.  Erskine,  the 
eldest  of  these,  marricvl,  and  hail  two  sons,  named  Hans  ;md 
Andrew.  Hans,  the  elder  of  these,  married  a  Miss  Warnock, 
daughter  of  Dr.  Warnock,  and  by  her  had  three  sons,  Erskine 
(the  eldest  and  present  representative  alluded  to  abo\e),  William, 
and  dames.  These  two  yoimjj^er  sons  died  without  issue,  liut 
Erskine,  Avho  was  born  the  3d  of  November,  1812,  married  Anne, 
daui^hter  of  Hans  ^Morrison,  who  was  younjier  brother  of  the  first 
Erskine,  and  therefore  a  double  strain  of  the  ^Morrison  blood  runs 
in  the  only  surviving  issue  of  this  marriage,  whose  name  is  Kid- 
dell  ^lorrison,  late  captain  in  her  Majesty's  Kith  Kegiment  of 
Infantry,  and  at  present  cha])lain  to  her  Alajesty's  forces.  Be- 
sides the  Rev.  Riddell  Morrison,  there  Avas  other  issue  in  the 
]ierson  of  the  li'te  Hans  Morrison,  barrister-at-law  and  master  of 
arts  of  the  jNIiddlc  Temple,  London,  who  died,  unmarried,  aged 
twenty-seven,  on  the  5th  of  August,  18()9.  Of  the  three  daugh- 
ters of  Andrew  the  Highl."Jider,  one  of  them,  Agnes,  died  un- 
married;  another  married,  and  died  without  issue.  The  third 
married  a  Mr.  Bell,  and  had  a  daughter,  who  married  a  gentleman 
descended  from  one  of  the  families  of  Riddell,  in  Roxburghshire. 
His  daughter,  by  this  lady.  Miss  Jane  Riddell,  married  Hans 
Morrison,  the  second  son  of  the  first  Erskine.  And  in  this  fact 
we  may  notice  a  strange  coincidence,  namely,  that  a  descendant 
of  Sir  Alexander  Morrison,  of  Preston  Grange,  married  a  Miss 
Riddell  in  Ireland  about  a  hundred  years  after  ]Miss  Helen  Mor- 
rison, Sir  Alexander's  daughter,  married  Sir  .lohn  Riddell  in 
Scotland.  Four  children,  a  son  and  three  daughters,  were  the 
issue  of  this  marriage  ])etween  Hans  ^lorrison,  the  grandson,  and

MOintlSOXS    OF    C.WK    mjKTON. 

I.  Anyiis  Morrison  was  the  ninth  ifcneratioii  in  descent  from 
an  K|iisco|ialian  cicrijyman  in  the  Island  of  l,ewis,  Scothiml,  win- 
was  a  descemlantof  ihecelelirated  I'direit  lieindi  Leou;hasach  (  Lewis 
iiudjj;e).  'rracini;'  the  ufucaloify  haekw.ards,  aceordinir  to  the  old 
llijihland  custom,  An^ns  was  the  son  of  John,  son  of  AnLfns,  son 
of  Donald,  son  of  Aniens,  son  of  John,  son  of  Donald  (Han),  >oii 
of  I'illier  liixlerick  or  .\nt;Ms,  sons  of  the  .ahov ciiamcd  l\|iisc<i|ia- 
lian  clerii'vman.  lie,  like  many  of  the  family  fi'om  which  he 
♦lesi'i'nded,  was  noted  for  his  charitahio  and  hospitahle  dIs|iosition, 
his  fairness  and  u|iriuhlness  in  all  transactions,  and  his  exemplary 
condnct  throMirli  lit"',  -'is  well  as  for  his  sincerity  and  zeal  in  mat- 
ters of  relii^icni.  In  his  youth  he  was  an  accomplished  playei'  on

lead  him  into  temptation."  Some  years  after,  when  -a  handsome 
sum  was  offered  him  foi-  his  l>au:i'ipes,  he  refused  the  money,  neilliei- 
would  he  tfive  the  instrument  as  a  yift,  statinu'that  he  fonml  it  an 
injury  to  himself,  and  what  was  an  iiijurv  to  him  he  ''would  not

of  her  hnsband,  Elizabeth,  with  her  six  children,  emigrated  to 
America,  leaving  May  18,  1818.  They  landed  in  Quebec,  Can., 
and  proceeded  (lirectly  to  lier  brother,  John  ]Mitcheltree,  m.  d., 
who  resided  in  Sjicnango  Townshi]),  ]Mercer  Co.,  Pa.,  arriving  there 
Aug.  18,  1818.  Here  she  settled  with  her  six  children.  There 
was  a  tradition  in  the  family  that  some  of  their  father's  relatives 
had  emigrated  at  an  early  day  to  Londonderry,  X.  11.  Kev.  W.- 
V.  Morrison,  d.  d.,  of  Ib'istol,  K.  I.,  writes:  "When  a  boy,  I 
remember  to  have  lieard  my  father  often  say  that  some  of  his 
father''s  relative.'^  had  emigrated  to  Atnerica  at  an  earjy  j;eriod, 
and  settled  in  Londonderry,  X.  IL,  and  that  he  had  been  told 
that  the  name  of  one  of  them  was  Robert.''''*  Elizabeth,  on 
leaving  Ireland,  intended  to  visit  her  husband's  relatives  in  Lon- 
donderry; but  tin<ling  the  country  so  much  larger  than  she 
expected,  and  methods  of  travelling  difficult,  her  cherished  plan 
was  abandoned,  and  the  remainder  of  her  life  was  spent  near 
her  brother,  Avhere  she  at  tirst  settled.  She  died  March,  1828. 
The  children  were  born  in  Ireland.

land  of  Orbelroagh,  about  four  miles  from  Londonderry,  where 
lie  lived  about  five  years,  and  died. 

The  grandfather  of  Alexander  was  .fohn  ]\[orris(m,  of  Laragh, 
whose  death,  about  1827,  at  the  great  age  of  one  hundred  and  ten 
years,  he  remembers. 

He  had  two  sons  and  five  (huighters.  His  son  Samuel  removed 
to  Balinamallard,  County  Termanaugh  ;  married,  and  died  there. 
His  son  John's  record  as  given. 

Alexander  Morrison  says  :  "  My  grandfather  had  a  brother 
named  William  (see  No.  1,  j).  483),  who  had  two  sons, 
Andrew.  The  first  died  at  Beachrin,  i)»ar  Beragh." 
(see  No.  2,  p.  433)  was  remarkable  as  a  strong  man 
his  death  in  endeavoring  to  secf.ro  a  runaway  horse  in  or  about 
1815.  His  wife  was  Betty  Mitcheltree,  of  Clogher,  County  Tyrone. 
Some  time  after  her  husband's  death,  she  emigrated,  with  her 
family  of  six  children,  to  America."  The  name  of  one  son  was 
John  ;  the  father  of  Kev.  W.-V.  Morrison,  d.  d.,  of  p.  434.

The  probable  reason  for  the  "Morisons  settling  in  Cand)ridge, 
N.  Y.,  and  vicinity,  arose  from  the  fact  that  some  of  their  num- 
ber |)assed  througli  the  country  in  the  French  ami  Indian  war,  as 
soldiers  in  the  I'rovincial  regiments  of  Xew  Hampshire  and 
Massachusetts,  ami  so  became  ac(|uainted  with  the  fertility  of 
the  soil,  and  liking  the  country,  concluded  to  settle  there. 

The  date  of  the  death  of  Tliomas  Morison,  Esq.,  I  have  been
